Even with the uncertainty that PR programming
with balance training improves patient functional balance
to a greater extent than standard PR, our findings
clearly demonstrate that most participants with a TUG
score worse than the average of their age-matched
healthy peers at baseline 12 achieve a normal TUG
performance after the program. As TUG assesses balance
under multitask conditions and this is similar to
the performance of activities of daily living, 11 this finding
suggests a lessening of overall fall risk in these
patients.
