Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD).
Experimental group, whole-body vibration exercise combined with ankle joint mobilization; control group, whole-body vibration exercise group; 10 MWT, 10 m walk test; TUG, timed up and go test; COP, center of pressure.
*Significant difference (p < .05) from pre.
†Significant difference (p < .05) between the experimental group and control group.
