Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Posturography	The device is a robotic device that evaluates motor function and consists of wirelessly sensed electromechanical platforms. This allows the evaluation of static and dynamic balance.	Change in immediately at the end of the intervention.
Secondary	Visual and Kinesthetic Motor Imagery Ability	The degree of physical activity was objectified through the The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) questionnaire, which allows the subjects to be divided into three groups according to their level of activity, which can be high, moderate, and low or inactive. The IPAQ consists of 7 questions about the frequency, duration and intensity of activity (moderate and intense) performed in the last seven days, as well as walking and sitting time on a workday. The IPAQ scoring protocol assigns the following MET values to walking, moderate, and vigorous intensity activity: 3.3 METs, 4.0 METs, and 8.0 METs, respectively.	Immediately before the intervention
