次要结局

  • Resistance to passive stretching: measured with the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) It will be assessed weekly during 15 weeks and on the 19th week (in week 3, two assessments will be conducted- one before the treatment and one after).
  • Gait: measured with instrumented gait analysis and the 10 Meter Walk Test (10MWT). It will be assessed on week 1, 2, 9, 15 and 19
  • Functional mobility: measured with the Time Up and Go (TUG). Assessed on week 1, 2, 9, 15 and 19
  • Muscle ultrasound (morphometric and densitometric variables): measured with ultrasound imaging. Assessed every week from 1 to 15 and on the 19 week (in week 3, two assessments will be conducted - one before the treatment and one after)
  • Quality of life: measured with the EuroQoL-5D. Assessed on week 1, 15 and 19
  • Cost-effectiveness: measured with a cost-effectiveness analysis. It will be done after every intervention session (from 3 to 15 week and on 19)
  • sample size, recruitment, and consent rates will be determined, as well as the safety and feasibility of both treatments
