A Comparative Study of Conventional Physiotherapy versus Robot-Assisted Gait Training Associated to Physiotherapy in Individuals with Ataxia after Stroke

Table 2

Outcome measures at baseline and after protocol treatment by intervention therapy.

Functional scale	Therapist-assisted		value	Robot-assisted		value
	Pre	Post		Pre	Post
BBS	27.3 ± 10.8	35.5 ± 14.1	0.012	26.6 ± 18.0	32.4 ± 18.8	0.018
TUG	0 : 28 ± 0 : 11	0 : 22 ± 0 : 10	0.017	0 : 46 ± 0.40	0 : 27 ± 0 : 17	0.011
FIM	80.9 ± 9.6	85.4 ± 8.2	0.016	73.9 ± 14.6	78.5 ± 12.9	0.042
SARA	18.9 ± 6.8	15.4 ± 5.6	0.012	18.7 ± 7.6	15.2 ± 6.8	0.018

All values are shown as the mean ± SD. value represents intragroup differences. Requirement for a statistically significant difference: . The nonparametric Wilcoxon test was used to compare pre- and posttreatment measurements. BBS: Berg Balance Scale; TUG: Timed Up and Go Test reported in seconds; FIM: Functional Independence Measure; SARA: Scale Assessment and Rating of Ataxia.
