Evaluation of the Whole Group’s Improvements After SSSH Participation—mean (SD).
| Measures | Sample size | Pre SSSH | Post SSSH | Sig. (p) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dynamic postural change tasks | ||||
| 30STS (reps) | 251 | 12.3 (4.4) | 14.4 (4.6) | <.001* |
| TUG (seconds) | 228 | 7.3 (3.0) | 6.2 (2.5) | <.001* |
| Static balance tasks | ||||
| Tandem (seconds) | 238 | 9.2 (24) | 9.7 (1.5) | <.001* |
| Tandem + EC (seconds) | 159 | 6.1 (4.2) | 7.6 (3.5) | <.001* |
| Tandem + EC + HT (seconds) | 87 | 4.8 (4.3) | 6.9 (3.8) | <.001* |
| Single leg (seconds) | 221 | 7.4 (3.8) | 8.4 (2.9) | <.001* |
| Single leg + EC (seconds) | 42 | 2.3 (3.2) | 5.6 (3.5) | <.001* |
| Flexibility tests | ||||
| Sit and reach (inches) | 258 | 0.2 (3.3) | 0.8 (3.3) | <.001* |
Note. 30STS = 30 second sit-to-stand; TUG = timed up-and-go; EC = eyes closed; HT = head turn.
