Researchers will determine the improvement in the instability and the strength along twelve sessions based on guided exercises and mobility techniques made by physiotherapists. Research team will also evaluate the medications and diet, as well as laboratory and clinical tests.
Detailed description

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) components (balance, gait speed, chair rise) | From enrollment to the end of treatment ending after 12 weeks. | Improvement in baseline values: each of the three component scores \<= 4 points, and tests consists of: balance test, Gait speed and chair-stand tests. Maximum possible is 12 points and under 10 points means frailty |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Euroqol5D Goldberg Anxiety and Depression Scale Number of falls throughout the study Major Cardiovascular events Adherence to the program | from the baseline to 12 weeks of intervention | Euroqol5D measures the Quality of life through an Analogic Visual Scale, which ranks from 0 (worst) to100(best) Goldberg anxiety and depression scales measure the probabilty of suffering from anxiety or depression. The tests consist in a total of 9 questions for each dimension. A score of \>=4 in any of the dimensions suggest pathology. Adherence to the program will be evbaluated counting the attendance to the sessions. More than 9 sessions will be considerated good adherence |
