Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
1. Proportions of eligible, included, moved and dropped out participants (quantitative endpoint); organizational barriers to recruitment (qualitative endpoint); 2. a. The number of subsequent days needed to reliably assess physical activity; b. Percentage and reason of data loss; c. Interview with proxy / relative to assess feasibility for themselves and participant; 3. Standard error of measurement (SEM), smallest detectable change (SDC) and mimimal important change (MIC) of (life-space) mobility, physical activity levels, and quality of life outcomes; 4. Means, average change and corresponding confidence intervals of the outcomes are calculated to determine the study sample size of the intended study.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
The following outcome measures will be calculated from the Dutch translation of the Life-Space Assessment 1. Content validity (the participants in this study will not be asked for this purpose); 2. Construct validity (convergent and divergent) based on correlations with other measured constructs collected during the pilot study; 3. SEM, SDC, MIC (see also point 3 for primary outcome measures).	—
