Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Objective change of mobility after surgery on the cervical spine one year after surgery compared to the preoperative findings. For the objective measurement, a non-invasive instrument (CROM3, Performance Attainment Associates), which is already validated in several studies, is used. This is placed on the head and measures the inclination / reclination, lateral inclination and rotation in the area of the cervical spine via several inclinometers and a compass-magnet device. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Objective change of mobility after surgery on the cervical spine 6 to 12 weeks after surgery compared to the preoperative findings; Subjective impairment of movement, quality of life and impairment in everyday duties, patient satisfaction, pain on numerical rating scale (NRS) 6 - 12 weeks and one year after surgery. | — |
