Data arepresented as mean ± standard deviation of the pre- to post-test differences calculated as post minus pre so that positive means indicate an increase over time
*Significant difference compared with control group by Tukey’s post-hoc test after ANOVA, p < 0.05
TDO: total displacement oscillation, ACPap: amplitude of displacement of the center of pressure in the anterior–posterior plane, ACPml: amplitude of displacement of the center of pressure in the mid-lateral plane, AREA: displacement area, AAS: anterior–posterior average speed, MAS: mid-lateral average speed, TAS: total average speed
BERG: Berg Balance Scale score, TAF: functional reach test, TUG: timed up and go test
