Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Range of motion | During a single test session (approximately 2hours) | Range of movement will be assessed by measuring displacement of the body part being moved (i.e. moving the head, back, arm or leg from a neutral position to end of range in flexion, extension, rotation, addiction or abduction) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Experienced difficultness of performing movement | During a single test session (approximately 2hours) | a 6-point Likert scale going from 0 = 'no problems', 1 = minimally difficult; 2 = somewhat difficult; 3 = fairly difficult; 4 = very difficult; 5 = unable to perform |
| Experienced pain | During a single test session (approximately 2hours) | Any potential pain during the functional tasks will be monitored using a 0-11 numeric rating scale (NRS) with 0 being no pain and 10 being worst imaginable pain |
