Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1) Assess the flexibility of the upper limbs (distance the hands can reach behind the back). In a standing position, the participant places the dominant hand on top of the standing position and reaches as low as possible towards the middle of the back, palm down and fingers extended (elbow pointing up). The hand of the other arm is placed under and behind, palm facing up, trying to reach as far as possible in an attempt to touch (or overlap) the middle fingers of both hands. The overlap distance, or the distance between the midfielders, is measured to the nearest cm. Negative results (-) represent the shortest distance between the middle fingers; positive (+) results represent the measure of middle finger overlap. Two measurements are recorded. The “best” value is used to measure performance.;2) Assess postural balance. By the Berg Balance Scale (BSE) The BBS assesses the dynamic and static balance of individuals and the risk of falls considering the environmental influence on their function. The BBS assesses the performance of functional balance with 14 tests, which are aimed at the individual's ability to sit, stand, reach, turn around, look over their shoulders, stand on one leg and climb steps . It has a maximum score of 56 points and a minimum of 0 points, where each test has five alternatives ranging from 0 to 4 points. | — |

| 3) Assess the Quality of Life through the World Health Organization Quality of Life Group Questionnaire (WHOQOL), to measure QoL encompassing positive and negative aspects and its multidimensional nature. The abbreviated module (BREF) comprises 26 questions subdivided into 4 domains: physical, psychological, social relationships and environment. And the elderly model (OLD), consisting of 24 questions subdivided into 5 domains: sensory functioning; autonomy; past, present and future activities; social participation; death and dying; intimacy.;4) Assess the Quality of Life through the World Health Organization Quality of Life Group Questionnaire (WHOQOL), to measure QoL encompassing positive and negative aspects and its multidimensional nature.
