Personalized Motor Learning in Primary Care Physiotherapy (TREAT)

Neurological Disorder Clinical Trial

Official title: Personalized Motor Learning in Primary Care Physiotherapy; A Prospective Formative Process Evaluation

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Over the last decade many scientific articles have been published on motor learning in neurological and geriatric rehabilitation. To make the available findings comprehendible and clear for physiotherapists, a card set and website have been developed. The aim of this prospective study is to evaluate the use and experiences of the card set and website designed to aid the physiotherapist in decision making with regards to motor learning. The following research question is central to this evaluation: How are the developed card set and website used and experienced by physiotherapists in primary care during the treatment of patients with neurological or geriatric conditions?

Clinical Trial Description

Method: Formative process evaluation. Over the last decade many scientific articles have been published on motor learning in neurological and geriatric rehabilitation. To make the available findings comprehendible and clear for physiotherapists, a card set and website have been developed. Participating physiotherapists will use the "card set and website" in their daily practice for a period of six months. To assess the usage and experiences of therapists, digital questionnaires will be administered prior to the intervention, at 3 months, and at 6 months, along with bi-weekly monitoring. The quantitative data from the questionnaires and monitoring will be analyzed using descriptive statistics (e.g., frequency tables, means, medians, IQR, and summary figures). Additionally, an interim evaluation will take place where solutions for the main user issues will be collectively brainstormed with the participants. Finally, a consensus meeting will be held to reach the final versions of the card set and website. The nominal group technique will be used to ensure active participation from all participants and to achieve consensus on the definitive list of modifications. ;
