Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Eating and swallowing function is estimated with the Repeated Saliva Swallowing Test (RSST), the Revised Water Swallowing Test (MWST), and tongue pressure muscle strength.Body measurements and body composition will be estimated by body weight, body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage, body fat mass, skeletal muscle mass, upper arm circumference (AC), triceps subcutaneous fat thickness (TSF), upper arm muscle circumference (AMC), upper arm muscle area (AMA), and lower leg circumference (CC). Physical performance is estimated by grip strength, maximum walking speed, number of repetitive openings and closings of the lower extremities, quadriceps endurance, lower extremity muscle strength, respiratory muscle function (peak flow meter), and functional independence measures (FIM).	—
