(A) Scores on the Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC), (B) the Vestibular Activities of Daily Living (VADL), (the VADL and ABC were not administered on 7/22/2019), (C) Functional Gait Assessment (FGA), (D) Mini-BESTest, and (E) 20' Gait Speed prior to and while wearing the Walkasins . Higher on the ABC, FGA, Mini-BESTest, and 20' Gait speed and lower scores on the VADL are better. He started wearing the Walkasins  on 3/8/2017 noted with an arrow  . Note that occasionally the Walkasins  device was turned off for a day and on those dates his perception of balance and functional ability decreased.

Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC), The Vestibular Activities of Daily Living Scale (VADL), 20' gait speed, Functional Gait Assessment (FGA), miniBESTest, Timed "Up & Go" (TUG), and cognitive TUG. The results of his initial scores on these tests are illustrated in Figures 1, 2. Although he was seen for 6 months prior to using Walkasins, multiple baseline values were not collected except for 2 measures for the FGA. FGA scores increased from 10 in October to 13 in January (Figure 1C). The patient was able to use the information immediately and improvements in gait and balance measures were noted over time (see Figures 1, 2).
Patient scores on the Timed "Up & Go" and the Cognitive Timed "Up & Go" in seconds prior to and during intervention with the Walkasins . He started wearing the Walkasins  3/8/17 as indicated by the arrow  . Note some days were tested while wearing the device and some were not. When the tests were performed without the Walkasins , the patient had not used them for 1 day.
