^aHow confident/sure are you that you can... (item wording)...without falling? Response options range from 0 (not confident at all) to ten (completely confident).
¹One participant did not respond to FES(S).
²Three participants did not complete the FES(S) at time 2. At time 2, data from 5 patients were excluded due to late responses and DBS surgery (see Results).
At time 1, one out of 69 (1.4%) scored 0 and 7 scored 130 (10.1%). At time 2, none of the 66 scored 0 and 7 (10.6%) scored 130.
