Comparison of mean scores on balance tests between baseline and 4-week follow-up visit for participants with baseline BBS scores < 46 (n = 32).
| Measure | Pre-test | Post-test | Mean difference | Significance |
| Berg Balance Scale1 | 38.0 (17–45) | 42.5 (13–56) | 4.5 | .001 |
| Single leg standing (R) | 2.4 (0–14) | 6.6 (0–48) | 4.3 | .015 |
| Single leg standing (L) | 1.7 (0–5) | 3.9 (0–30) | 2.2 | .035 |
| ABC Scale | 67.2 (23–99) | 72.8 (25–100) | 5.6 | .016 |
Means were compared using a paired samples t-test. For all tests, a higher score indicates better function.
1 For the Berg Balance Scale, n = 31; one patient did not perform this test at the follow-up due to an acute episode of dizziness.
