168. No published evaluation at this stage. Formal evaluation is at an early stage but the evidence so far is encouraging with: people experiencing care improved in the number of sit to stands they could complete after six weeks, by on average one stand, and in some cases up to four stands; and on average, at baseline people experiencing care had a medium fall risk, according to the Berg Balance scale. Those measured at six weeks reported higher average scores in standing and sitting unsupported, standing to sitting and standing with eyes closed than at baseline.
