Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>Body weight; height, objective functional abilities measured with use of a<br /><br>walking test of 20 meters, and the Timed Up and Go test (de Greef et al 2006);<br /><br>Pain measured by the WOMAC physical function scale and the health related<br /><br>Quality of Life measured by the SF-36 (Aaronson et al., 1998).
