About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Individualized Video Recordings Versus Conventional Printed Instructions on Home Exercise Program Adherence in Physical Therapy

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of an individualized video recording in improving adherence in home exercise programs for orthopaedic physical therapy patients.

Specific aims:

  1. Evaluate whether individualized video recordings improve adherence with home exercise programs (HEP) as compared with conventional printed instructions measured by a self-report exercise log. (1-tail analysis)
Read the detailed description

This investigation will focus on the specific issues surrounding adherence to the use of individualized video recordings via smartphone versus conventional printed instructions in patients with orthopaedic injuries. The data reported will be used to explore the feasibility and potential benefits of smartphone usage for home exercise adherence.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Home Exercise Program and Adherence LogsOther

    Also called HEP

    Both groups will receive physical therapy prescribed home exercises and be asked to record adherence to their program on an exercise log.

Study groups in NCT02822755
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Video Recording GroupExperimentalThe experimental group participants will be recorded on their personal smartphone performing their prescribed exercises with individualized instruction from the participating physical therapist. The prescribing therapist will record participants on their own smartphones doing the exercise program in the clinic so that participants can have that video recording of the exercises to help remind them how to do the exercises properly at home. Participants will not be asked to record themselves performing future exercise sessions as documentation of improvement. Intervention: Home Exercise Program and Adherence Logs
Receives: Other: Home Exercise Program and Adherence Logs
Conventional Printed GroupActive comparatorThe active comparator group will receive individualized instruction from the participating physical therapist on how to perform their home exercise program as well as printed instructions of the exercises. No video recording of the control group participants will be performed. Intervention: Home Exercise Program and Adherence Logs
Receives: Other: Home Exercise Program and Adherence Logs

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Home Exercise Adherence

    Data will be recorded via a self-reported exercise log that includes number of days exercises were completed per week. Participants will record the number of days participants did "All" of the program (defined as doing 100% of their exercises), "Most" of the program (defined as doing 75% of their exercises), "Some" of the program (defined as doing 50% of their program, and "None" of the program (defined as doing 0% of their exercise program).

    Measured: Weekly for 6 weeks

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Data collection sites lost research personnel that were recruiting subjects.). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02822755, which also lists 13 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
