Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Assess changes in geometric and kinetic measures of posture and balance; we expect to find a reduction in deviations and improved postural stability, verified by the photographic postural assessment method and analysis with a force platform; and we will observe the measurements in angles and kinetic variables of the statokinesiogram. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Assess pulmonary and clinical function, expecting to find improvement in inspiratory and expiratory pressures and vital capacity, in addition to maintenance or improvement in disease staging assessment scales; through measurements of inspiratory and expiratory pressures and vital capacity, and Vignos scales Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control, verified by functional assessment, we will observe the scores for each measurement | — |
