Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected to find a statistically significant decrease (>0.05) in the displacement of the center of pressure amplitude in an oscillatory base condition measured by the force platform in all groups comparing the pre- and post-intervention moments. However, it is expected that the 4mA group will present a higher standardized response average than the other groups, taking into account the following criteria: irrelevant (0.2 and 0.5 and 0.8).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
No secondary outcomes are expected.
