Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The main study parameters are user experience (satisfaction, usability and emotional engagement) with the Playmancer game and the clinical changes (complaints and disability) induced by playing the Playmancer game. Satisfaction is assessed by a self-constructed questionnaire based on UTAUT (unified theory of acceptance and use of technology). The usability will be assessed by the system usability scale (SUS) and the emotional engagement will be assessed by items of the core element of game experience questionnaire (CEGEQ). Clinical change will be assessed by a Vas for pain intensity and different disability questionnaire (PDI, NDI and RDQ). The obejective clinical changes will be assessed by the six minutes walking test (6mwt) and different outcomes logged by the game (walking velocity, walking distance, reaching ability, time of relax etc.)	—
