Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Change in Activities-Specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC)

  16-item survey of how confident one is with balance, scored as a percentage between 0-100 where higher percentage indicates increased confidence in balance.

  baseline, posttest (up to 14 weeks)

• Change in Falls Efficacy Scale (FES)

  10-item survey that measures confidence in one's own ability to complete daily activities without falling on a scale of 1-10 where lowers scores indicate more extreme confidence.

  baseline, posttest (up to 14 weeks)

• Change in the Mini-BESTest Score

  The mini-BESTest will be used to assess balance. This 14-item, clinical battery is used to assess balance in four component areas (anticipatory transitions, postural response, sensory orientation and dynamic gait) and provides a single number summary of balance performance (total possible range of scores 0-30), higher scores indicate better balance.

  baseline, posttest (up to 14 weeks)

Secondary Outcomes (8)

• Change in Spatiotemporal measures of gait: Gait Speed

  baseline, posttest (up to 14 weeks)

• Change in Spatiotemporal measures of gait: percent of cycle in double support

  baseline, posttest (up to 14 weeks)

• Change in Spatiotemporal measures of gait: Base of Support measured as horizontal stride width

  baseline, posttest (up to 14 weeks)

• Change in Spatiotemporal measures of gait: Stride Length

  baseline, posttest (up to 14 weeks)

• Change in Spatiotemporal measures of gait: Cadence in steps per minute

  baseline, posttest (up to 14 weeks)

Other Outcomes (2)

• Change in Menu Task Score

  baseline, posttest (up to 14 weeks)

• Change in Functional Gait measured by Performance Assessment of Self-Care Skills (PASS)

  baseline, posttest (up to 14 weeks)
