Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Gait trainings showed statistically significant increase in second vertical peak force and Propulsive Force despite decrease in the vertical minimum force and breaking force (P>0.05). However, just second vertical peak force, vertical minimum force and propulsive showed significant differences in the pairwise comparisons (P>0.05). There was no significant differences in the first vertical peak force, breaking time and propulsive time after training (P<0.05). Time Get Up and Go significantly decreased while Fall Efficacy Scale-Iinternational reflected significantly increase after gait trainings (P>0.05). | — |
