Change From Baseline in Berg Balance Scale at 4 Weeks
Berg Balance Scale assess the functional balance ability of participants with observation of 14 tasks, representing functional movements common in daily life
Time frame: Baseline and 4 weeks from baseline
Berg Balance Scale
Berg Balance Scale assess the functional balance ability of participants with observation of 14 tasks, representing functional movements common in daily life
Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline
Trunk impairment scale
Trunk impairment scale performs to evaluate the sitting balance and trunk control ability examining static sitting balance, dynamic sitting balance, and coordination
Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline
Functional Ambulation Category
Categorizes patients according to basic motor skills necessary for functional ambulation. It represents the status of ambulation
Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline
10m walk test
10m walk test is used to examine gait speed, in which participant was asked to walk on a 14 meter of walkway wearing harness with two conditions; with the fastest speed or with self-selected comfortable speed
Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline
Fugl-Meyer Assessment
Fugl-Meyer Assessment uses to examine the motor function and coordination of affected lower extremity
Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline

Korean version of Falls efficacy scale
Asseses perception of balance and stability during activities of daily living Assesses fear of falling in the elderly population
Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline
Scale for the assessment and rating of ataxia
Scale for the assessment and rating for infratentorial stroke
Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline
Balance test using force plate
Each subject performs the following four tasks resembling Romberg test: standing with their feet positioning with the distance between their shoulders with eyes open (FSEO) or closed (FSEC), and standing with their feet together with eyes open (FTEO) or closed (FTEC). Each task is performed for 20 seconds and repeat for three times.
Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks from baseline, 8 weeks from baseline, 12 weeks from baseline
