strengthening exercises on 30 minutes a day, five days a week during six weeks. Results were evaluated by static balance, dynamic balance and gait function.
Result: There was improvement by ankle joint strengthening exercise that the postural sway velocity with open eye and close eye, the dynamic balance, and the gait function.
