COPM—Canadian occupational performance measure. 10-point scale where a higher value indicates better performance/satisfaction, GAS—Goal Attainment scale is scored from -2, -1 (sub-optimal result), 0 (achieved goal), 1, 2 (achieved more than goal), MiniBESTest—Mini Balance evaluation systems test is scored out of 28, with higher scores indicating better function, UPDRS-II—Unified Parkinson’s disease rating scale subscale II (ADL)—is rated out of 52 with lower scores indicating less impairment, PDQ-39 —Parkinson’s disease Questionnaire -39 is rated out of 156 where a lower score indicates less impairment. Barthel Index—a rating scale out of 20, where a higher score indicates more functionality in Instrumented ADL, G—Code—a scale for reporting disability where a higher level of disability is reflected in a higher % range, Functional Gait Assessment—A scale out of 30, where a lower score indicates less function, Berg Balance scale—A scale out of 56 where a higher score indicates more function.
