Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | recruitment rate | defined as the number of residents recruited from those invited. Measurement units = number and percentage | up to 12 weeks | No |
Primary | measurement (physiological and surveys) completion rate | defined as the number of participants able to complete each outcome measure at baseline and follow-up. Measurement units = number and percentage | up to 12 weeks | No |
Primary | loss-to-follow-up | defined as participants who withdrew or dropped out and did not consent to a follow up assessment. Measurement units = number and percentage | up to 12 weeks | No |
Primary | exercise session adherence | measured by the number of sessions attended out of the maximum 24 sessions. Measurement units = number and percentage | up to 12 weeks | No |
Primary | acceptability | measured via a programme satisfaction survey completed post-training that assessed the burden of training and testing, as well as how participants felt about the trial. Measurement units = number and percentage | up to 12 weeks | No |
Primary | adverse events | defined as incidents in which harm or damage resulted to a participant and included, but were not limited to, falls and fall-related injuries, musculoskeletal or cardiovascular incidents and problems with medication and medical devices. Measurement units = number and percentage | up to 12 weeks | No |
Secondary | Gait Speed | Gait speed was recorded via the GaitMat II system (Manufacturer is EQInc; Model is GaitMat II), which required participants to walk across a level pressure mat system 3.66 m (11.91 ft.) long (McDonough et al. 2001). Participants completed the trials at their preferred (habitual) walking (gait) speed. The following instructions were given, "Walk towards the end of the room at a pace that is comfortable for you". Participants were allowed to walk in their own footwear. All measures were initiated from a standing start 2 m (6.56 ft.) from the GaitMat II platform as suggested by Kressig and Beauchet (Kressig & Beauchet 2006) to reduce the effect that acceleration may have on gait speed. The average gait speed (m/s) from three attempts was used for data analysis. Participants were allowed as much rest as required between attempts, with rest periods typically being up to 1 minute. Measurement units = metres per second | change from baseline to 12 weeks | Yes |
Secondary | Handgrip strength | Upper body muscle function was measured by isometric handgrip strength and sit-to-stand performance, respectively. When performing the handgrip strength assessments, participants were seated, instructed to keep their elbow at 90° and asked to squeeze a handgrip dynamometer (Sammons Preston Roylan, Bolingbrook, IL) to their maximum ability for a period of up to five seconds (Mathiowetz 2002). Three trials were performed with the subject's dominant hand with one-minute rest between trials and the best result used for analysis (Roberts 2011). Measurement units = kilograms | change from baseline to 12 weeks | Yes |
Secondary | Sit to stand performance | In the sit-to-stand measure, participants sat and stood to a full standing position from a chair as many times as possible in 30 seconds whilst keeping their arms crossed against their chest (Millor 2013). Measurement units = repetitions in 30 seconds | change from baseline to 12 weeks | Yes |
