Primary outcomes are analyzed by paired samples t-tests. 95% CI are confidence intervals for the mean difference pre-post t-tests. Effect sizes for primary outcomes were calculated as the partial eta squared, η2 = t2/(t2 + (N-1)). We use the Ferguson (2009) effect size criteria for η2: small = 0.2, moderate = 0.5, large = 0.8. SI = Stability Index, EO = Eyes Open, EC = Eyes Closed, V = Vestibular,

* = Statistically significant.
