Design outcomes
Primary

|---|---|
| The outcomes were balance and functional performance. The balance was evaluated by the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), which consists of fourteen daily tasks scored from 0 to 4, for a total of 56 points, in which an index equal to or below 36 is associated with 100% risk of falls. The scale has a good inter-rater reliability (0.96) and test-retest reliability (TRR = 0.98), in addition to a moderate to high correlation with other instruments of functional evaluation of the balance (Steffen, Hacker, & Mollinger, 2002). | — |
