Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
BMI	Change from baseline to follow up (12 weeks later)	kg/m2
hand pinch	Change kg from baseline to follow up (12 weeks later)	Lafayette Hydraulic Pinch Gauge 5030P1
Activities of daily living	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	Change from baseline to follow up (12 weeks later)	Jamar Handgrip Dynamometer
body weight	Change kg from baseline to follow up (12 weeks later)	Weighing scales in kilograms
Body Composition	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	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)
