Comparison of mean scores on balance tests between baseline and 4-week follow-up visit for all participants (n = 94).
| Measure | Pre-test | Post-test | Mean difference | Significance |
| Berg Balance Scale1 | 47.1 (17–56) | 48.8 (13–56) | 1.7 | .001 |
| Single leg standing (R) | 13.1 (0–109) | 18.6 (0–149) | 5.5 | .009 |
| Single leg standing (L) | 9.9 (0–138) | 12.6 (0–120) | 2.8 | .147 |
| ABC Scale | 80.5 (23–100) | 82.3 (25–100) | 2.1 | .034 |
Means were compared using a paired samples t-test. For all tests, a higher score indicates better function.
1 For the Berg Balance Scale, n = 93; one patient did not perform this test at the follow-up due to an acute episode of dizziness.
