Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Group A
Participants received 12 weeks of Sensory Attention Focused Exercise, then received 12 weeks of no exercise.
|
Consisted of 12 weeks for SAFEx intervention, 3 times a week for an hour each session. Participants complete dynamic balance activities and a variety of seated stretches and range of motion activities. Participants are cued to focus on sensation and proprioception of limbs. Group A received SAFEx for 12 weeks then received no treatment for 12 weeks. Consisted of 12 weeks for SAFEx intervention, 3 times a week for an hour each session. Participants complete dynamic balance activities and a variety of seated stretches and range of motion activities. Participants are cued to focus on sensation and proprioception of limbs. Group B received no treatment for 12 weeks, then received SAFEx for 12 weeks. |
