Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome: improvement on muscle performance of lower limbs, verified by Biodex isokinetic dinamometer, from the observation of an increasing of 20% of mean value of strength (Nm/kg) and muscle power (w/kg) of knee and hip muscles. ;Observed outcome: improvement on muscle performance of lower limbs, verified by Biodex isokinetic dinamometer, from the observation of an increasing of 20% of mean value of muscle power (w/kg) of knee and hip muscles.;Expected outcome: improvement on functional capacity of locomotion, measured through velociy in the functional tests of usual gail speed (10 meters test), maximal gait speed(Shuttle Walking Test), ascending and descending stairs speed and Short Physical Battery (SPPB), from the observation of an increasing of 20% of mean value of velocity in each test.;Observed outcomes: no changes in this outcome | — |
