Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The main study endpoint is brake force at six weeks, determined by means of a pedal force meter in a driving simulator.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
- Brake response time, using a pressure sensor on the brake pedal. - Brake response time and brake force on the clutch pedal, using the same pedal force meter and pressure sensor. - Subjective ability to drive, determined by means of a questionnaire that is filled out before and after each measurement session. - Opioid use (type and dosage) at each measurement point.	—
