Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Figure of 8 Walk test, measured at baseline and 7-21 days later at the second assessment. During the second assessment the Fig 8 will be measured twice by two different assessors. To measure the outcome we will record how long it takes to complete the test in seconds, how many steps the participant takes, whether the test was completed within the 2ft boundary and a 3-point smoothness score.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Timed up and Go, measured only at the baseline assessment. Assessed by timing how long it takes to complete the test in seconds 2. Short Physical Performance Battery, measured only at baseline. Comprises of three different measures, assessed by time taken to complete all three
