结局指标
主要结局
change happened in the dynamic balance from the baseline
时间窗: one day after the end of treatment
Biodex Balance System which is a device used to measure the balance of a person who stand on the platform of the device that give a measurement called over all stability index where 0 score means the best balance and the largest number indicate bad balance.
次要结局
- change happened in the joint angle repositioning from baseline(one day after the end of treatment)
- change happened in pain from the baseline(one day after the end of treatment)
