Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome measures are changes in coordination, muscle strength, and functional mobility. These are assessed using the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, modified test variations, and gait analysis. In addition, the coordinative performance of some participants is assessed using the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB). The Flamingo Test and the Romberg Test are also administered to evaluate balance. Furthermore, muscle strength is measured using standardized methods. Physical examinations and data collection are conducted both before and after the intervention. Questionnaires are also administered (knowledge test, medical history questionnaire, final questionnaire, SF-36). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcome measures include questionnaire results, changes in mobility, balance, and cognitive performance. Adherence to the training program and knowledge gains will also be analyzed | — |
