Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Sitting-posture-profile (1) Desciption: Sitting-posture will be measured with a 3D-video analysis (Bonita, ©Vicon Motion Systems Ltd. UK). Markers are placed on specific anatomical reference points on the participant. Afterwards angles (°) will be automatically calculated (Nexus, ©Vicon Motion Systems Ltd. UK) Dural-profile (2) Description: Using the slump-test according to Shacklock the maximal knee-extension (°) without neurological complaints will be measured. Pain-profile (3) Description: Pain Pressure Threshold will be measured. Through pressure-algometry (a) Pressure Pain Detection Threshold (kPa/cm²) and (b) Pressure Pain Tolerance (sec) will be determined (Somedic Sales AB, Stockholm Sweden).	—
