Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Methods: A bi-centre randomised Rater-blinded controlled trial. Participants in both groups received 20 treatment sessions. Participants in the intervention group received treatment aimed at improving control of the position and movement of the centre of mass and body segments. Participants in the control group received treatments to reduce limitations at activity and body function level.
Group allocation was done by an independent clinician by a randomization list made before the beginning of the study. Group allocation was kept concealed throughout the study and participants were not aware of group assignment.
Data was analyzed according to a preplanned protocol by using an intention to treat approach.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention
Participants in the intervention group received at least 25-45' of balance treatment. The balance treatments were aimed at improving participants' control of the position and movement of the center of mass and body segments during static, dynamic and transitional tasks.
Falls Prevention
Control
Participants in the control group were treated to reduce limitations at body function and activity levels, while treatment for balance disorders was restricted to a maximum of 10' per session. Treatment mainly focused on increasing range of joints motion, reducing of muscle contractures and strength training.
