Description of techniques added to the target group taking into account subjects’ functional level using Hospital of Sagunto Functional Scales
| Functional level | Techniques added to the target group |
|---|---|
| BipHS = 0 (Impossible standing) | Plantar stimulation sensitivity*. |
| CFMHS = 0 (Nonambulation) | Pelvic dissociation in supine*. |
| BipHS = 1 (Nonfunctional standing) | Plantar stimulation sensitivity*. |
| CFMHS = 0 (Nonambulation) | Pelvic dissociation in supine*. |
| Knee and ankle dissociation in supine**. | |
| BipHS = 2 (Hand-bound or supported standing) | Plantar stimulation sensitivity*. |
| CFMHS = 1 (Nonfunctional ambulation-permanent aid) | Pelvic dissociation in supine*. |
| Knee and ankle dissociation in supine**. | |
| Head dissociations: head rotations in standing with support***. | |
| Balance: non-affected leg movements, in supported standing***. | |
| BipHS = 3 (Free, independent and short standing) | Head dissociations: head rotations in standing without support***. |
| CFMHS = 2 (Household ambulation-on flat and horizontal surfaces) | |
| Balance: non-affected leg movements in standing position***. | |
| BipHS = 4 (Prolonged standing but abnormal) | Head dissociations: head rotations in standing without support and feet together***. |
| CFMHS = 2 (Household ambulation-on flat and horizontal surfaces) or 3 (Surroundings of the house ambulation- restricted distance) | |
| Balance: non-affected leg movements in standing position, with feet together***. | |
| BipHS = 5 (Normal standing) | Head dissociations: head rotations in standing without support, feet together and eyes closed***. |
| CFMHS = 3 (Surroundings of the house ambulation- restricted distance) or 4 (Independent community ambulation) or 5 (Normal ambulation- distance, appearance) | |
| Balance: non-affected leg movements in standing position, with feet together and eyes closed***. | |
| Balance: standing in balance board with rotation on horizontal axis and then on vertical axis (when subjects feel confident close their eyes)***. |
