Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Timed "Up & Go" Test

    The Timed Up \& Go (TUG) test assess basic functional mobility.(14). The test measures the time (in seconds)that the subjects used for standing up from the seating position on a chair (chair seat height = 45 cm) with armrest, walking 3 m, turning around and walking back to the chair and sitting down again.

    Before randomisation and 3 days before discharge from the department
