Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary outcome is measured with the BBS: Berg Balance Scale. This is a test battery consisting of motor tests to determine balance and risk of falling. Primary endpoint is either 4 weeks after end of treatment, or - if earlier - at discharge from hospital. The primary parameter is the change in the value of the Berg Balance Scale before, immediately after and 4 weeks after end of therapy.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
COP measurement: Measurement of body pressure point in the upright position, change of ability to regulate posture before/after therapy TUG: Timed Up and Go test. Test checks the understanding of a simple everyday task, the ability to stand up alone, to walk 3 meters, turn around and sit down (time tracking) MFAS: Motor Function Assessment Scale. Capture of patients' motor function in 44 sub-items (sitting, standing up and standing, walking and function of the upper extremities) FIM: Functional Independence Measure. Test for the assessment of needs and autonomy of patients in everyday life Questions about the fall/therapy frequency Standardized questions about the frequency of falls, the incidence of self-induced additional therapy and satisfaction with the therapy. Secondary endpoint is either 4 weeks after end of treatment, or - if earlier - at discharge from hospital.	—
