Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
d2-R-Test
Time Frame: Change from baseline attention and concentration at 4 weeks (objective)
Mental
Change from baseline attention and concentration at 4 weeks (objective)
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).
Change from baseline attention and concentration at 4 weeks (subjective)
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/).
Change from baseline position and mobility of the spine at 4 weeks
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.
Change from baseline pain (back) at 4 weeks
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.
Change from baseline physical well-being at 4 weeks
