Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
BMI
Time Frame: Change from baseline to follow up (12 weeks later)
kg/m2
hand pinch
Time Frame: Change kg from baseline to follow up (12 weeks later)
Lafayette Hydraulic Pinch Gauge 5030P1
Activities of daily living
Time Frame: Change score from baseline to follow up (12 weeks later)
Functional Independence Measure (FIM) included 18 items, covering 6 situations in the burden of personal care, specifically self-care, mobility, transfers, sphincter management, communication, and social cognition. A high score indicates better function.
hand grip
Time Frame: Change from baseline to follow up (12 weeks later)
Jamar Handgrip Dynamometer
body weight
Time Frame: Change kg from baseline to follow up (12 weeks later)
Weighing scales in kilograms
Body Composition
Time Frame: Change gram, kg and percentage from baseline to follow up (12 weeks later)
measuring machine: Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) estimates body composition of fat and lean tissue.
Quality of Life
Time Frame: Change score from baseline to follow up (12 weeks later)
Short Form 8 health survey (SF8)included the items focusing on physical and mental health; EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D) includes the EQ-visual analogue scale (VAS) and the EQ-5D descriptive system. EQ-VAS documents the participant's self-reported health on a VAS of 100-0. The EQ-5D-3L descriptive system consists of five dimensions, namely mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression, all with three function levels (no problem = 1; some problems = 2; severe problems = 3)
