BEF consists of the following training: (1) stand with feet hip distance apart
(2) standing with feet closeness
(3) foot-to foot
(4) one-leg standing and (5) standing on foam with eyes closed. The BEF training was conducted for a total of 45 minutes, with 8 minutes allocated to each training position and a 1-minute rest between

(4) functional ability training
(6) gait training
(7) electrical stimulation
(8) hand and leg stationary cycling
