Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Functional capacity<br><br>Functional capacity will be assessed by the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and the modified Timed Up and Go (TUG) test.<br>SPPB is a valid and reliable tool to measure functional capacity in the elderly through tests that involve balance, gait speed and strength of the lower limbs. This instrument generates a score that can vary from 0 to 12 points and the higher the score, the better the functional capacity (NANAKO, 2007).<br><br>In addition, the TUG will be used, which is a valid tool and widely used in physical therapy practice. In this test, the individual is asked to get up from a chair, walk (without running) for three meters, return and sit down again. For this study, a modification will be used, which will consist of the patient performing the entire test holding a glass filled in 1/3 with water speaking randomly the names of fruits (PODSIADLO et al., 1991).
