Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Presentation of expected outcome 1: difference in mobility performance through the mean values of the total number of steps from the difference of at least 1500 steps between groups. The mobility through the number of steps was evaluated after the interventions of the groups Cycloergometer and Control (institutional exercise protocol), using the pedometer for five consecutive days in the ward | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
