Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Timed 'Up-and-Go' test (TUG)	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 Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Repeated chair stand test (STS-5)	16 weeks	The participants are instructed to stand from a chair five successive times as quickly as possible without the assistance of their arms. Shorter time indicates better performance.
One-Leg Stand test (OLS)	16 weeks	Participants are instructed to start the test from a standing position with their eyes open and arms at their sides, choose a leg to stand on, flex the opposite knee, allowing the foot to clear the ground, and stand unassisted on one leg as long as possible. Longer time indicates better performance.
