Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

ventilatory function

By a spirometer, forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), the ratio of forced vital capacity to forced expiratory volume (FEV1/FVC), and peak expiratory flow will be measured.

Time frame: 12 weeks

Secondary Outcomes

level of stress

perceived stress questionnaire Individual scores on the perceived stress questionnaire can range from 0 to 40 with higher scores indicating higher perceived tress

Time frame: 12 weeks

Functional independence measure

The Functional independence measure consists of 18 measures organized into six dimensions and ranges from 18 to 126

Time frame: 12 weeks

level of physical function

short physical performance battery group of measures that combines the results of the gait speed, chair stand and balance tests
