Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The current follow-up phase evaluates both groups at 3 and 9 months post-intervention to determine whether initial improvements are maintained and whether they translate into better long-term physical function, quality of life, and return-to-work outcomes. No additional interventions will be delivered; only follow-up assessments are planned.
