Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Dynamic balance

  Four-Step Square Test (FSST): Two strips were placed perpendicular to each other on the floor to create 4 squares. At the start of the test, the patient stood on square 1 facing square 2. The stepping sequence was as follows: 2-3-4-1-4-3-2-1. Participants were instructed to complete the sequence as fast as possible, without touching the canes or strips, and to ensure that both feet fully contacted the ground in each square. If the participant failed to complete the sequence correctly, lost balance, or touched the cane, the test was repeated. The total time required to complete the test was recorded

  7 months

Secondary Outcomes (4)
