Overall Postural Stability Index Measurement
This index will be assessed by measuring deviations of the center of gravity in the anteroposterior and mediolateral directions. Lower scores indicate smaller deviations and better postural stability. The test will be performed on a stable platform with three trials of 30 seconds each. The average of the three trials will be automatically calculated by the TechnoBody balance system.
Change from baseline overall postural stability index immediately and one week after the intervention
Fall Risk Assessment
Change from baseline fall risk immediately and one week after the intervention
Anteroposterior Stability Index Measurement
Change from baseline anteroposterior stability index immediately and one week after the intervention
Mediolateral Stability Index Measurement
Change from baseline mediolateral stability index immediately and one week after the intervention
Timed Up and Go Test
Change from baseline Timed Up and Go test performance immediately and one week after the intervention
10-Meter Walk Test
Change from baseline walking speed immediately and one week after the intervention
Participants in this group will receive conventional physiotherapy five days per week, including therapeutic exercises and functional electrical stimulation to support lower-extremity function, gait, and balance rehabilitation.
Participants in this group will receive conventional physiotherapy five days per week, including therapeutic exercises and functional electrical stimulation to support lower-extremity function, gait, and balance rehabilitation, in addition to plantar vibration delivered using the custom-made vibration insole for 30 minutes per day over three consecutive days.
Participants in this group will receive conventional physiotherapy every weekday throughout the study period, including therapeutic exercises and functional electrical stimulation aimed at improving lower-extremity muscle strength and gait.
