Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
relative Hand grip strength
Time Frame: Baseline
the sum of the handgrip strength of both hands divided by body mass index (BMI)
The 30-Second Chair Test
Time Frame: Baseline
The 30-Second Chair Test is a standing exercise where participants sit in a folding chair without arms, with their feet shoulder-width apart and arms crossed. The test requires the participant to perform full stands within 30 seconds, with the goal of completing the task without using their arms.
8-feet Up-and-Go test
Time Frame: Baseline
Place a chair and marker 8 feet apart, clear the path, and start seated. Start timing, then quickly stand, walk, and walk around a cone, returning to the chair. Stop timing as needed. Perform two trials.
2 min walk test
Time Frame: Baseline
For two minutes, the person is urged to walk as quickly as they can while remaining safe and independent, and the distance is recorded.
Secondary Outcomes
No secondary outcomes reported
