  1. BBS-s Berg Balance Scale – standing item, COPvel-AP COP velocities in anteroposterior direction, COPvel-ML COP velocities in mediolateral direction, FP Force plate, MI-LE Lower extremity part of the Motricity Index, N Number, NM Not mentioned, PP Pressure plate, SD Standard deviation, VSN Visuospatial neglect, WBA Weight-bearing asymmetry. Absolute values i.e., values irrespective of contra or ipsilesional side, otherwise these would cancel each other out. Values are mean (standard deviation)
