Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The master's thesis examines the displacements in various fascial layers. The primary parameters of this investigation are the displacements of the selected fixed point in the fascia superficialis and the fascia profunda. Three defined pressure and velocity of sliding pressure movements are taken into account. These parameters were selected due to their decisive role in answering the research question.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
In addition, secondary target parameters are taken into account in order to gain insights into differences between symptom-free and chronic low back pain subjects. The secondary parameters include the differences in the primary target parameters in healthy subjects compared to subjects with chronic low back pain. Their inclusion enables a more comprehensive analysis and contributes to a better understanding of possible correlations.
