Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Intra- and interraterreliability, clinically interpreted with the help of the bland-altman-plot and measured with the Intraclass-correlation-coefficient. Bland-altman-plot and ICC are going to be created after all measurements are done and the primary endpoint can be obtained.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Differences between a measurement by eyesight and a measurement with a goniometer. Differences between a measurement of the left side and a measurement of the right side. Both issues interpreted with the bland-altman-plot and calculated with the Intraclass-correlation-coefficient. Bland-altman-plot and ICC are going to be created after all measurements are done and the secondary endpoints can be obtained.
