Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main parameter is quality of trunk-coordination, which can be described as tracking error. This will be measured with an Xsens accelerometer. The responsiveness of the measured quality of trunk-coordination in LBP patients will be tested by comparing these scores with their pain-scores and a disability questionnaire and calculating correlations between these variables. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The usability of the coordination measurement will be described by the researcher who performs all tests. | — |
