Treatment and study plan

Modified poco-poco exercise program as the home-based therapy (Intervention)

Procedure

Patient will do the exercise at home 5 days/week and supervised via zoom application. Supervised via Zoom will be conducted every week. The instructor will monitor the exercise movement of the participants, if there is any mistake the instructor will pause the session and correct it immediately. The monitoring will also be done by researcher assistant to collect attendance, help ensure correct movement and operational problem. The intensity of the exercise will be evaluated and adjusted every 4 weeks.

Primary outcomes
