Brief Summary

Parkinson's disease (PD), stroke, and Multiple Sclerosis (MS) are the most common neurological diseases. Today, physiotherapy and rehabilitation approaches together with optimal medical and surgical treatment form the basis of treatment for these diseases. Recently, it has been stated that various telerehabilitation interventions in the field of physiotherapy and rehabilitation may be an additional option to the rehabilitation approaches applied in the clinic. In addition, there are benefits such as continuity in patient education and rehabilitation, saving time and expenditure of individuals on the road. However, some problems arise in this form of treatment. Especially weak internet connection, sometimes requiring technical knowledge and expensive equipment can reduce the participation and satisfaction level of individuals. It is also important to evaluate the level of satisfaction in expanding the usability of telerehabilitation services and determining the best telerehabilitation service. For this reason, there is a need for questionnaires investigating the satisfaction level of physiotherapy and rehabilitation applied through telerehabilitation.

Detailed Description

Questionnaire items were created in two stages. First, 5 experts will independently review the literature on "telerehabilitation" and "satisfaction". In addition, these experts will be asked to create a pool of questions based on their experiences in telerehabilitation and by taking the opinions of patients receiving telerehabilitation about satisfaction. Then, 5 experts will come together and obtain a single question pool containing the questions they deem important in their question pool. The second step will involve scaling the elements. In this study, scale items will be scored on a five-point Likert scale, ranging from 1, strongly disagree to 5, strongly agree.

Then, it will be applied to a pilot group of 10 people and it will be evaluated whether the items prepared by the experts are understood by the patients. In line with the expert opinion and the result of the pilot study, the final version of the scale will be decided and applied to MS, PD, and stroke patients who make up the study group. Finally, the validity and reliability of the questionnaire will be calculated.
