Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i2 Dynamic balance on the stability platform improved in the balance group (d = 0.66), while CoP sway velocity and BESS errors showed no significant group effects. → Rogge 2017
Evidence¶
Rogge 2017¶
Rogge, A.-K., Röder, B., Zech, A., Nagel, V., Hollander, K., Braumann, K.-M. & Hötting, K. (2017). Balance training improves memory and spatial cognition in healthy adults. Scientific Reports 7:5661. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-017-06071-9
q3 · i2 · causal · r2
ANCOVA of the stability platform test showed a significant group effect; "group difference = 1.57, 95% CI = [0.49, 2.65], d = 0.66". Forceplate sway (d = −0.01) and BESS (d = −0.09) were not significant.
"The balance training increased participants' dynamic balance performance on the stability platform as indicated by a significant effect of group, F (1, 36) = 8.72, p = 0.005."
