Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Time to reach program goals (days) | Through study completion, an average of 4 weeks | The number of days in the COLTT program required to reach program goals ( see secondary outcomes measures) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Gait speed (mph, % expected) | Through study completion, an average of 4 weeks | Gait speed (walking speed) is measured daily on a oval track |
| Single leg stance performance (seconds, % expected) | Through study completion, an average of 4 weeks | The test result of a single leg stance test. Patients stand with hands on their hips, raise one leg off the ground and hold it for as long as possible. |
| One-minute sit to stand performance (number, % expected) | Through study completion, an average of 4 weeks | The test result of a one-minute sit to stand test. Patients stand/sit from a chair as many times as they can in one minute. |
| Six minute walk distance (feet, % expected) | Through study completion, an average of 4 weeks | The test result of a six-minute walk test, a field test of exercise capacity |
