Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Timed Up and Go test (TUG)	The Timed Up and Go test (TUG) is a simple test used to assess a person's mobility and requires both static and dynamic balance. It uses the time that a person takes to rise from a chair, walk three meters, turn around 180 degrees, walk back to the chair, and sit down while turning 180 degrees	18th months
Primary	Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)	The VAS uses a straight 10 centimeter line with one end being 'no pain' and on the other end the 'worst imaginable pain'. The patient chooses a spot on the line then places a perpendicular line to indicate their pain level	18th months
