Table 2

Score results of Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Locomotor Capability Index-5 (LCI-5), Stair Assessment Index (SAI), and Hill Assessment Index (HAI) during data collection sessions fitting the SACH (P1) and the multiaxial foot (P2) compared by means of a nonparametric Wilcoxon signed rank test. Data shown in this table are expressed as median (interquartile range); and values (significant in bold) are reported.
