	Measure	Source/instrument	Frequency	Performance
Functional/physiological parameters	Activities of daily living	Self-report Katz instrument of activities of daily living (ADLs) scale	At baseline and exit (at 8 weeks)	Reliability 0.87 to 0.94 [46,47] good construct and content validity [48].
	Instrumental activities of daily living	Self-report Lawton instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) scale	At baseline and exit (8 weeks)	Inter-rater reliability .85. The validity was tested in 180 subjects, all correlations significant at .01 or .05 level [49]
