结局指标
主要结局
Change in maximal extension of elbow and knee
时间窗: On each measurement moment (3 or 4 times a day, 3 different days, 2 weeks for each participant)
Change in goniometric measurement of maximal elbow and knee extension
Change in pain
时间窗: On each measurement moment (3 or 4 times a day, 3 different days, 2 weeks for each participant)
Change in PACSLAC-D score (PACSLAC-D is a Dutch adaptation of the Pain Assessment Checklist for Seniors with Limited Ability to Communicate): observation scale of pain during morning care. Scores range from 0 to 24, indicating the presence of various pain expressions. Higher scores indicate more pain.

时间窗: On each measurement moment (3 or 4 times a day, 3 different days, 2 weeks for each participant)
Change in MyotonPRO measurement of intrinsic muscle tone of left and right biceps brachii and left and right rectus femoris
Comparison of pain during morning care
时间窗: rated after morning care, daily during 2 weeks for each participant (control week and intervention week)
Comparison of PACSLAC-D scores during control week and harmonics week.PACSLAC-D is a Dutch adaptation of the Pain Assessment Checklist for Seniors with Limited Ability to Communicate: observation scale of pain during morning care. Scores range from 0 to 24, indicating the presence of various pain expressions. Higher scores indicate more pain.
Comparison of comfort during morning care
时间窗: rated after morning care, daily during 2 weeks for each participant (control week and intervention week)
Comparison of score on comfort questionnaire 4 questions regarding comfort of morning care (both for caregiver as estimated for patient) between control week and harmonics week, as rated with a visual analogue scale (0-10, interpretation dependent on the question)
