| Medicine ball group (n=18) | Swiss ball group (n=18) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pre | Post | Pre | Post | |
| BESS (scores) | 15.8 ± 5.2 | 11.1 ± 4.7a | 19.3 ± 11.1 | 13.2 ± 8.5a |
| OLST (sec) | 17.0 ± 8.2 | 23.1 ± 12.7a | 16.4 ± 10.6 | 19.6 ± 10.1a |
| FRT (cm) | 34.1 ± 4.9 | 36.3 ± 4.7a | 32.1 ± 4.9 | 35.8 ± 5.1a |
| TUG (sec) | 8.13 ± 0.64 | 7.88 ± 0.70a | 8.32 ± 1.20 | 7.97 ± 1.03 |
Values are mean ± SD. BESS: balance error scoring system; OLST: one leg standing test; FRT: functional reach test; TUG: timed up and go test, aStatistically significant difference between pre-test and post-tests (p<0.05).
