Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Standing balance control scores were acquired from Biodex stability system and fluctuations of COP signals. Repeated measure ANOVA was performed to test mean differences and then compared with the LSD test. Paired T-test was used for comparing the pure effect of trainings. Our investigation showed statistical improvement in the results of Biodex stability scores and force platform mediolateral sway. | — |
