Study & Design

• Study Type: Interventional
• Study Design: Not specified

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Changes in the sweep area (mm2) produced by the oscillation of the pressure center during the performance of the Romberg test with open eyes and stable surface, evaluated with the Satel PF8C posturograph.[Baseline, at four weeks after intervention commencement];Changes in Berg Scale score[Baseline, at 4 weeks after intervention commencement];Changes in Time up ang Go test[Baseline, at four weeks after intervention commencement]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
quality of life assessed using the ECVI-38 Quality of Life Questionnaire[Baseline, at at 4 weeks after intervention commencement];Changes in the percentage of load difference between both lower limbs, determined by the coordinates of the pressure center related to the average position when performing the Romberg test in Satel PF8C posturograph.[Baseline, at four weeks after intervention commencement];Changes inthe length of the oscillations (mm) produced by the subject during the 60-second test of roomberg in Satel PF8C posturograph.[Baseline, at four weeks after intervention commencement];Changes in Barthel Index[Baseline, at four weeks after intervention commencement]
