* Significance of the difference within groups;
# significance of the difference between groups.
Pre-test was performed before the intervention, and post-test was performed after 4 weeks. In the pre-test comparison between groups, there was no significant difference (P>0.05). The significance level was set at 0.05 for differences between the 2 groups. CBT – cognitive balance task training; GBT – general balance task training; BBS – Berg balance scale; TUG – timed up and go test; SV – stride velocity; SL – stride length; DST – double support time.
