Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Timed Up and Go (TUG)8 weeksChange from de baseline in functional mobility and predict risk of falls. The single-task subscale consists of a measurement of the time in seconds for the patient to rise from sitting in a standard arm chair, walk 3 meters, turn, walk back to the chair, and sit down. The dual task subscale adds a cognitive task (TUGCognitive) or a manual task (TUGManual) to the simple task.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
SLUMP Test8 weeksChange from de baseline in the movement of the pain-sensitive nerve structures.
Straight Leg Raise test (SLR)8 weeksChange from de baseline in the movement of the pain-sensitive nerve structures.
Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR)8 weeksChange from the baseline on the impact of symptoms on quality of life in people with fibromyalgia. Questionnaire with 21-items on a visual analogue scale.
Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS)8 weeksChange from the baseline on the severity of general disability in the items of work, family life/home responsibilities and social life/leisure activities.
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)8 weekschange from the baseline on sleep quality. The self-rated items of the PSQI generate seven component scores (with subscales ranged 0-3): sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbance, use of sleeping medication, and daytime dysfunction.
One leg stance8 weeksChange from de baseline in postural steadiness (static balance) in a static position by registering the number of seconds a person can maintain this position.
Spanish version of the Brief Pain Inventory questionnaire (CBD)8 weeksChange from the baseline on the intensity of pain and its impact on activities of daily living.
Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index (HAQ-DI)8 weeksChange from the baseline on physical disability related to activities of eight categories of daily living over the last week.
Epworth Sleepiness Scale, (EES)8 weeksChange from thebaseline of the subject's general level of daytime sleepiness.
Minibestest8 WeeksChange from baseline in Dynamic Balance: areas are anticipatory postural adjustments, reactive postural responses, sensory orientation, and stability in gait. This tool has 14 items, with a maximum score of 28 points.
Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS)8 weeksChange from the baseline on insomnia. It is a self-rating instrument of eigth items.
