Table 5 Trend in outcome response on balance and walking

Outcome measure	Median difference (minimum to maximum) between baseline and follow-up	Direction^a
Mini-BESTest^b	3.5 (− 1 to 7)	+
10-Meter Walk Test, maximum gait speed (m/s)^b	0.04 (− 0.04 to 0.25)	+
10-Meter Walk Test, self-selected gait speed (m/s)^b	− 0.04 (− 0.17 to 0.23)	−
2-minute walk test, self-selected gait speed (m)^b	− 10.2 (− 14.4 to 8.4)	−
Six Spot Step Test (s)^c	− 1.7 (− 3.5 to 3.5)	+
Multiple Sclerosis Walking Scale-12 (Total score)^c	− 5.5 (− 16 to 1)	+
Falls Efficacy Scale-International (Total score)^c	1.5 (− 8 to 7)	−

^aDirection indicates whether trend in change from baseline to follow-up assessment was positive (+), negative (−), or unchanged (0)
^bPositive values indicate trend to improve; ^cNegative values indicate trend to improve
