Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Timed 'Up-and-Go' test (TUG)
Time Frame: 16 weeks
The participants are instructed to stand up from a standard chair of 45 cm height, walk 3 metre, turn around a cone, return to the chair, and sit down again in the shortest time possible without running. Two trials are performed, and the quicker time in seconds is recorded. Shorter time indicates better performance.
Secondary Outcomes
- Repeated chair stand test (STS-5)(16 weeks)
- One-Leg Stand test (OLS)(16 weeks)
