Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Joint motion sense expressed by the threshold to detect passive motion (TTDPM) in degrees and neuropathic pain, defined by the score on the knee-specific Dutch modified-painDETECT questionnaire. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1) Joint positioning sense (determined with Mr Cube) expressed by the deviation in millimetres from a marker and neuropathic pain, defined by the score on the knee-specific Dutch modified-painDETECT questionnaire. 2) Pain catastrophizing, determined by continuous score on the pain catastrophizing scale (PCS) and motion and positioning sense. Motion sense is defined by the threshold to detect passive motion (TTDPM) in degrees and the joint position sense is expressed as the deviation in millimetres from a marker (determined with Mr Cube). | — |
