Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1. A reduction in the value of the Pressure Center amplitude, measured in mm, in the balance region stimulus group, observed using the force platform, is expected to occur, comparing the values obtained before intervention and post intervention.;Expected outcome 2. A reduction in the value of the Pressure Center latency time, measured in ms, in the equilibrium region stimulus group, observed through the use of force platform, is expected to be obtained by comparing the pre-measured values intervention and post intervention.;Expected outcome 3. A reduction in the value of the electromyographic latency time in the anterior tibial, lateral and medial and soleus gastrocnemius muscles is expected to occur in the balance region stimulus group, observed through the use of force platform, comparing the values obtained before and after intervention. | — |
