Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|

Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Objective core strength; functional disability using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI); subjective patient satisfaction (comparative questionnaire); assessed at the beginning and end of the study. Additional longitudinal parameters: Well-being using the WHO-5 questionnaire; analgesic intake; device-specific performance parameters (coordination, flexibility, stability) recorded directly via the ICAROS software during application; and adverse events (general condition check); assessed at every single intervention. | — |
