Treatment and study plan

Exercise training program

Other

10min of coordination and strength training (2-3x per week) during 2-6 weeks

Primary outcomes

  1. d2-R-Test

    Time frame: Change from baseline attention and concentration at 4 weeks (objective)

    Mental

  2. AKA-Questionnaire (attention, concentration, learning ability)

    Time frame: Change from baseline attention and concentration at 4 weeks (subjective)

    Participants fill out a questionnaire about attention, concentration and learning ability. There are five possible answers for each item from 1 (completely disagree) to 5 (completely agree).

  3. M360 - physiological parameter of the spine

    Time frame: Change from baseline position and mobility of the spine at 4 weeks

    Participants are measured in different positions (upright, flexion, extension; measured in degrees) to assess position, stability and mobility of the spine. The M360 will be guided along the back and the data will be collected electronically (https://www.idiag.ch/idiag-m360/).

  4. Pain (Visual Analogue Scale)

    Time frame: Change from baseline pain (back) at 4 weeks

    Participants can use this scale to classify their pain from "No pain" and "Maximum pain imaginable" by means of a slider.

  5. FAW-Questionnaire (Actual physical well-being)

    Time frame: Change from baseline physical well-being at 4 weeks

    Participants fill out a questionnaire with 58 questions. Each question has five possible answers from 0 (completely disagree) to 4 (completely agree). The highter the score the better the actual physical well-being.
