Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this study is to find out what clinical reasoning process physiotherapists undergo when observing hemiplegic patients gait.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Physiotherapists don't usually use any assessments to evaluate gait but observe it without an instrument. The questions in this study are:

* what abnormalities can physiotherapists detect when observing a patient walking?
* what do they consider the main problem that has a negative effect on the patient's walking?
* what hypothesis do they generate?
* how is the inter-rater reliability for the "main problem" and the hypothesis?

PT's working in stroke in NW-Switzerland

54 Physiotherapists (PT's) working in north-west Switzerland (at Bruderholzspital, RehaB Basel, Klinik Tschugg, Reha Rheinfelden, RehaClinic Zurzach) are asked to analyse videos of 6 hemiplegic patients when walking. They are asked to write down their main observations, the major problem and hypotheses about how this major problem is produced.
