Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Turning performance [Change from baseline at 4 week]
Using a turning characteristic evaluation system to evaluate the swing time, stance time, turning speed, and stride length of the participants during turning
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Balance [Change from baseline at 4 week]
Berg Balance Scale Limits of stability (LOS) using NeuroCom Smart Balance Master (NeuroCom International, Clackamas, OR)
- Strength [Change from baseline at 4 week]
Using handheld dynamometer
- Straight walking performance [Change from baseline at 4 week]
Using GAITRite system (CIR system, Inc, Havertown, PS) calculate walking speed, cadence, swing time, stance time, and step length
- Timed up and go test [Change from baseline at 4 week]
- Falls Efficacy Scale International (Chinese) [Change from baseline at 4 week]
- Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) Taiwan version [Change from baseline at 4 week]
