Values are in mean ± SD or -value ( value). Pre: preassessment; Post: postassessment; FU: follow-up assessment; CS: composite score on the auditory Stroop test; CoP-AP: normalized CoP sway in the anteroposterior direction; CoP-ML: normalized CoP sway in the mediolateral direction; VCoP: average CoP sway velocity.
