Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. Bathing & Dressing: measured by the Barthel-Index (BI) supplemented with the total number of body parts the patient washed and dressed himself. 2. Mobility: measured by the Elderly Mobility Scale (EMS). In case of a maximum score of the EMS (patient performs all tasks without any problem), the EMS will be followed by the 2-minute walk test.
