To see the effect from the therapy we use Berg balance scale and tests for transfer (changing over from occipital laying position to left/right laying position, from occipital laying position to standing position). The test” Five Times Sit -To- Stand (FTSST) is used, which is suitable for evaluating the abilities of transfer.
