Trial Outcomes & Findings for Clinical Reasoning Process of Physiotherapists When Observing Hemiplegic Gait (NCT NCT02504073)

Results Overview

The questionnaire will be the basis of this study as it will be the basis for open coding. It is handed out to 54 observers (=physiotherapists) and will be filled in 6 times (for 6 patient videos). The questionnaire consists of 3 main questions: 1. what gait abnormalities do you see? 2. What do you consider the main problem (1 sentence) 3. what is your hypothesis (max. 3) The question one delivers different items (each new observation is a new item) that were determined patient by patient and rater by rater by three independent researchers. They were then listed and categorised by consensus. Finally, the frequency of each item was analysed globally and for each patient.

Measure	PT's Working With Stroke Patients in NW-Switzerland n=54 Participants Physiotherapists from Bruderholzspital, RehaB Basel, Klinik Tschugg, Reha Rheinfelden, RehaClinic Zurzach
Number of Gait Abnormalities Observed	177 number of different gait abnormalities

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: up to 2 months

This outcome is a result of the second part of the Questionnaire: 1) What Gait Abnormalities do You See? 2) What do You Consider the Main Problem (1 Sentence) 3) What is Your Hypothesis (Max. 3) By consensus the three independent researchers identified the main statements from the sentences written. Items were afterwards categorised. Finally the frequency of each item was analysed globally and for each patient.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: up to 2 months

This outcome is a result of the third part of the questionnaire: 1) What Gait Abnormalities do You See? 2) What do You Consider the Main Problem (1 Sentence) 3) What is Your Hypothesis (Max. 3) By consensus the three independent researchers identified and categorised all the listed hypotheses from question number three of the questionnaire. After that the use frequency of each item was analysed globally and for each patient.
