Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Reducing the total number of tender points in both groups by analysis of computed algometry the initial assessment (A0) after 10th session (A1) and the 20th session (A2) in which IG obtained in A0 (16.70±1.64), A1(13.80±3.29) and A2(10.50±1.22) and another group got WG A0 (16.72±2.00), A1(12.00±3.06) and A2(10.87± 4.12);reducing the impact of fibromyalgia in both groups by analysis of the total scores of the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) in which IG A0(71.92± 9.05), A1(63.23±13.55) and A2(52.37±14.00) and WG A0(64.53±15.90), A1(41.41±13.66) and A2(34.17± 7.50). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Significant improvement in static balance only for IG resulting in lower maximum initial pressure of the feet of A0 (97,64±43,55), A1(92,65±32.87) and A2(87,55±28,89). WG kept his balance in similar reviews A0(41,80±4,53), A1(44,69±7,50) and A2(42,89±7,00). | — |
