a Numerical variables with Gaussian distribution. Results are presented as average ± standard deviation. p value was calculated using unpaired t-student test.

b Numerical variables with non-parametric distribution. Results are presented as median and [interquartile range]. p value was calculated using Mann-Whitney U test.

BBS—Berg Balance Scale

TUG—Timed up and go

SLS—Single leg stand
