Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Static Balance Performance-ALFA Stabilometric Platform
Time Frame: Baseline
Static balance performance will be assessed using the ALFA Stabilometric Platform. A static balance performance score generated by the device software will be recorded separately for each side during the assessment. Higher scores indicate better static balance performance.
Secondary Outcomes
- Dynamic Balance Performance-ALFA Stabilometric Platform(Baseline)
- Isokinetic Muscle Strength(Baseline)
- Isokinetic Muscle Endurance(Baseline)
- Pain Intensity(Baseline)
- Kinesiophobia(Baseline)
