Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
finger muscle power15 secondPeripheral muscle strength will be measured with a pinchmeter
grip strength15 secondPeripheral muscle strength will be measured with dynamometer

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Assessment of cognitive10 minutesCognitive will be assessed by Montreal Cognitive Assessment. MoCA Test; a score of 19 to 25 indicates mild cognitive impairment. Scores of between 11 and 21 suggest mild Alzheimer's disease. There is some overlap between this type of dementia and mild cognitive impairment, reflecting the difficulty in using a single test to make this type of diagnosis
Assessment of anxiety and depression10 minutesAnxiety and depression will be assessed by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale.The HADS questionnaire has seven items each for depression and anxiety subscales. Scoring for each item ranges from zero to three, with three denoting highest anxiety or depression level. A total subscale score of \>8 points out of a possible 21 denotes considerable symptoms of anxiety or depression.
Assessment of fatigue10 minutesFatigue will be assessed by Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy. The FACIT Fatigue Scale is a short, 13-item, easy to administer tool that measures an individual's level of fatigue during their usual daily activities over the past week. The level of fatigue is measured on a four point Likert scale (4 = not at all fatigued to 0 = very much fatigued)
