oth dependent variables, i.e. pain and disability, show continuous increase
throughout the observation periods.
4.3.2. Development of the primary dependent variables
In order to assess the development of the dependent variables pain and disability
throughout time, the values of the first observation period (RW) were compared to
the values of the last observation period (PT3W). (see table annex H)
The results of the observation period RW serve as a reference value at 100 %.
Accordingly, the calculation of the difference between RW and PT3W shows the
decrease in percent. A negative number indicates an increase in PT3W.
RDQ (%) VAS (%)
Max 86.21 81.28
Mean 49.80 44.39
Min excluding outlier 0.00 3.14
MIN (outlier) -11.32 -30.64
Table 4B: Decrease of dependent variables
In table 4B, the mean, maximum
and minimum values (including
and excluding outlier) indicating
the degree of change in pain and
disability are shown in percent.
Subsequently, the results of the test persons were grouped:
> 60 % Very strong decrease
30-60 % Strong decrease
0-30 % Medium to slight decrease
< 0 % Increase
