Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The effectiveness is measured primarily by musculoskeletal complaints. The physical examination is implemented at the beginning and end of the intervention according to Spallek et al., (2007) [measuring times: baseline, after 12 weeks and 24 months], by the Nordic Questionnaire (Kuorinka et al. 1987) [measuring times: baseline, after 12, 22 weeks and 24 months], and pain by the West Haven-Yale Multidimensional Pain Inventory (WHYMPI) (Kerns et al. 1985) [measuring times: baseline, after 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 22 weeks and 24 months].	—
