A repeated measures ANOVA was utilized to determine whether a significant change occurred over time and statistical significance was assessed at (p<0.05) level. The results indicated that the experimental group for BBS, MMSE, 8 foot-up-and-go, BES and CS variables achieved a significant improvement in balance from pre- testing to post-testing.
