Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Physical activity outcomes: daily step counts (steps/day), sedentary time (%), light intensity activity time (%), moderate-to-vigorous intensity activity time (%)	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Mental health outcomes: Self-Rating Depression Scale, Apathy Scale, Falls Efficacy Scale-International. Functional outcome: Short Physical Performance Battery. Potential factors associated with daily physical activity levels: instrumental activities of daily living performed, life-space mobility, potential barriers to physical activity, occurrence of falls. Information obtained from interviews: patients' perspectives on the causes of day-to-day step count variability, the needs of patients for outpatient physical therapy services to increase their levels of physical activity.	—
