  • Totals refer to the total number of participants in each group that provided each score at each time point. 30SCST, which records the number of stands in 30 s and where higher scores indicate better function. F8WT, where a quicker time and fewer steps indicates better function. SLS, in which stance time is averaged over three trials at standing on the same leg, with a maximum score of 45 s and higher scores indicate better function

  • *Summaries are mean (SD).

  • †Summaries are median (IQR).
