- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The evaluation of the usability of the VR application from the point of view of those affected will initially be recorded using the System Usability Scale (SUS). Since this instrument can only indicate a tendency with regard to the usability of the developed prototype, additionally guided focus groups are also planned. The aim of the interviews is to give the test persons the opportunity to describe their own perception of the prototype as freely as possible. In particular, indications of potential improvements to the new digital application and additional aspects should be discussed that are not covered by the quantitative instrument.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Furthermore, an assessment of the prototype from the perspective of physiotherapeutic professionals will be obtained. For this purpose, guided expert interviews with physiotherapists will be conducted.
