The mean scores over time and Relative Effects of the Four Stage Balance Test, Timed Up and Go Test and the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey of the intervention group and control group.

The RE is calculated as the ratio of the change from baseline to the respective time point (M4 or M12) in the intervention group compared to the control group. The overall RE is computed as a weighted average of the REs at M4 and M12, proportional to the duration of each period. 1 Analysis adjusted for age and sex
