Table 1 Outcome measures

Static balance

^aOne-leg stance 10 s.

For each test: average acceleration (m/sec²) and angular velocity (radians/sec), in different directions.

Lower scores – lower sway

^aTandem stance 20 s.

Dynamic balance

Tandem walk: 10 steps forwards

Tandem walk: 10 steps backwards

Legs strength

Sit-to-stand 10 rep.

Total time (sec.) and average duration for each rep.

Shorter duration

Upper body flexibility

^aTorso rotation

Angle

Increased angle - a greater range of motion

^aArm flexion

^aArm extension

Upper extremities strength

^abLifting arm forward 20 rep.

Average duration (sec.)

Shorter duration

^abLifting arm to side 20 rep.
