George (2004) found that, when compared to controls, subjects with DPN exhibited significantly lower walking velocity, and cadence, as well as impaired reaction time and ability to produce rhythmic limb acceleration (9).
Brittle stars are a moderately popular invertebrate in fishkeeping. They can easily thrive in marine tanks; in fact, the micro brittle star is a common hitchhiker that will propagate and become common in almost any saltwater tank, if one happens to come along on some live rock.
Starfish and sea stars like this are known as echinoderms that are from the class Asteroidea. Starfish similar to other echinoderms have skeletons that consists of small calcareous (Calcium Rich) ossicles, also known as bony plates. In order to move these bony plates they use a system known as water vascular system.
