Each participant was assessed by a physical therapist before and after the intervention in order to examine its effects on gait performance and stability. The 10-m walking velocity test and the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) were used to evaluate the changes in gait performance and stability. BBS is a widely used clinical test which was developed to evaluate both the static and kinetic balance abilities of stroke patients. It consists of 14 assessment items: sitting to standing, standing without support, sitting without support, standing to sitting, transfers, standing with eyes closed, performing the Romberg test with eyes open, reaching, turning and looking over the shoulder, making 360° turn to the right and left, and standing on one leg. Each item is scored from 1 to 5. It has been shown that subjects with BBS scores >41 have a low risk of fall, medium risk of fall for BBS scores of 21–40, and high risk of fall for BBS scores of less than 20. BBS can be used to evaluate the balance ability of patients with hemiplegia caused either by senile disorder or stroke.
