3.2.1. Adherence
SECONDARY
Five out of seventeen participants (29.4%) dropped out of the study. During the baseline measurement period of one week, one participant withdrew due to a nickel allergy to the straps of the device and one withdrew due to the high psychological burden of wearing the device in combination with other rehabilitation therapies. During the intervention period, three participants withdrew: two due to the high psychological burden of wearing the device in combination with other rehabilitation therapies and one because of an unexpected early discharge. Two out of the twelve participants (16.7%) who completed the study protocol had insufficient data collection due to technical issues with the device; the devices shut down and did not collect data when being worn by the participants. Both participants were excluded from data analysis on secondary outcomes.
