Note. All values are means ± SD unless noted otherwise. The baseline values were comparable between the 2 groups (P > 0.05) according to the results of independent t test. Change scores were calculated as (3-month – baseline) and (6-month – baseline). The overall P values for the outcome measures were derived from two-way repeated measures analysis of variance. P values for between-group comparison of change scores were derived from independent t test, with an overall significance level of 0.05. FMT = Functional Movement Training. CI = confidence interval. SOT = Sensory Organisation Test. MABC = Movement Assessment Battery for Children. TIS = Total impairment score. UST = Unilateral Stance Test.
