About this study

Official title: Investigation of Feasibility and Effectiveness of Home-Based Exercise Programs in Physiotherapy According to Disease Status: A Randomized Controlled Multicenter Study Protocol

Aim: In this study, the types of home-based exercise programs prepared for patients receiving physiotherapy services in different rehabilitation institutions; It is aimed to examine the applicability and effectiveness advantages according to disease status, age, gender, socioeconomic level, education level, confidence in the home program, and functional independence level.

Study type: observational study Research question; To what extent do patients participate in home-based exercise programs?

Read the detailed description

Background and rationale; It is common to use home exercise programs in organizations that provide physiotherapy services. The home exercise program is specially created by physiotherapists according to the patient's needs and individual characteristics. The prepared program is explained to the patient how to do the exercise at home by various means such as verbal explanation, practical demonstration, giving brochures or video recording. Home program exercises contribute positively to the rehabilitation process by enabling the patient to take an active role in the rehabilitation process and giving the patient personal responsibility. Supporting the treatments given in health institutions with home program exercises increases the effectiveness of the treatment. In addition, preparing a home exercise program is a frequently used method in cases where access to healthcare is difficult due to various reasons.

Aim: In this study, the types of home-based exercise programs prepared for patients receiving physiotherapy services in different rehabilitation institutions; It is aimed to examine the applicability and effectiveness advantages according to disease status, age, gender, socioeconomic level, education level, confidence in the home program, and functional independence level.

Research processes; Participants will first be interviewed face to face and preliminary evaluation data will be obtained before a home exercise program is given.

The patient's gender, age, diagnosis, education level, socioeconomic level, functional dependency level, state anxiety level, fatigue severity scale, and pain level score will be recorded. The type of exercise given and the type of learn home-based exercise will be recorded.

12 days after the routine home exercise program, the final data will be collected by the researchers from the patients face to face or by phone for patients who cannot attend the appointment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Vizuel Analog Scala, (VAS)

    VAS is an extremely simple, effective and repeatable measurement tool that requires minimal tools to measure both pain intensity and pain relief. It is a 10 cm long ruler drawn horizontally or vertically, starting with "No pain" and ending with "Unbearable pain". The patient is told to make a mark on this line that corresponds to the severity of his pain, intersecting this line. The distance from the lowest VAS level to the patient's mark is measured with a ruler to obtain a numerical index of the patient's pain intensity in cm or mm.

    Measured: baseline, post-exercise (day 12)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Fatigue Severity Scale, (FSS)

    Fatigue Severity Scale is a scale with proven validity and reliability. FSS is shown as the best example among one-dimensional scales. The person indicates how much he or she agrees with each item by choosing a number from 1 to 7. 1 indicates that it does not agree at all, 7 indicates that it completely agrees. The score range of the scale, which consists of a total of 9 questions, is 9-63. A score of 36 or higher indicates severe fatigue.

    Measured: baseline, post-exercise (day 12)
