Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The outcomes were balance and functional performance. The balance was evaluated by the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), which consists of fourteen daily tasks scored from 0 to 4, for a total of 56 points, in which an index equal to or below 36 is associated with 100% risk of falls. The scale has a good inter-rater reliability (0.96) and test-retest reliability (TRR = 0.98), in addition to a moderate to high correlation with other instruments of functional evaluation of the balance (Steffen, Hacker, & Mollinger, 2002). <br>
