• Conditions: Adherence

• Registration Number: NCT02822755
• Lead Sponsor: Evan J. Petersen

Brief Summary

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)

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.
