Change scale from pre-test to post-test for clinical balance, walking ability and cardiopulmonary fitness between the control and experimental groups.
| Control (n = 8) | Experimental (n = 8) | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Post-Test–Pre-Test | Post-Test–Pre-Test | p-Value b | |

| Functional walking ability, TUG (seconds) a | 0.37 (−1.89, 2.63) | −3.54 (−5.62, −1.46) | 0.007 * |
| Speed of walking (comfortable), 10MWT (meters/minute) a | −1.22 (−4.49, 2.05) | 8.00 (2.96, 13.04) | 0.003 * |
| Cardiopulmonary | |||
| 6MWT (meters) a | 22.18 (−3.22, 47.59) | 28.02 (3.13, 52.91) | 0.574 |
