A measurement lasts for approximately 30 minutes. Running a course without and then with biofeedback is one type of measurement. The primary end point is the ending of the intervention group's run. This applies to both arms.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Only the second arm contains the secondary endpoint. It is defined as the primary endpoint's conclusion plus two years. Patients will be contacted for a final exam, which will serve as the secondary endpoint. Clinical indicators like pain and range of motion are noted. The second endpoint is the conclusion of this study.
