Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The first step of the study contains measurement and analysis for differences in postural stability (measured using the MFT-S3-Check) and questionnaires (NASS, HADS, SF-36, ODI) between control group (n=50) and back pain group (n=65) at time point 0. The second step investigates postural stability between intervention groups 1 and 2 at the time points t0, after 6 weeks of therapeutic interventions and at the end of three blocks of intervention. Differences in questionnaires between intervention groups 1 and 2 at the time points t0 and after three blocks of intervention are also investigated in the second step. | — |
