Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Average gait speed and locomotion with a 10-meter walk test. It has good capacity and reproducibility and is valid for assessing physical mobility in the clinical environment. It has been demonstrated that the reduction of 0.1 m / s in the average gait speed increases the risk of falls by 7.0%, in addition, the measurement of the average gait speed is considered a simple and effective measure to evaluate the functional capacity . | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Degree of static and dynamic balance with the Minibest Test. It presents excellent psychometric properties in individuals with neurological diagnoses, presenting Kappa reliability from strong to almost perfect, and the reliability indexes of the Rasch analysis response pattern for the instruments were also high, considered good to excellent, which means that the responses of the individuals can be reproduced reliably in this study. | — |
