Design outcomes

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Identification of the requirements of older adults regarding the design of the user interface of a wearable as a biofeedback system for effective training in the treatment of chronic back pain via a qualitative content analysis. Identification of important aspects, in case of embedding the system in a multidimensional therapy program for the treatment of chronic back pain (education, psychosocial support, motivation for home exercises) via a qualitative content analysis.	—

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Identification of the requirements of older adults with chronic back pain for an ultrasound-based wearable as a biofeedback system for segmental stabilization exercises using qualitative content analysis. Examination of the need for such a system and the usefulness of the system using qualitative content analysis. Assessment of potential usability and intention to use the system by the test persons by using the Technology Usage Inventory. Identification of prior experience with segmental stabilization among the sample using qualitative content analysis.	—
