Brief Summary

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

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

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

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.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Video Recording Group

The experimental group participants will be recorded on their personal smartphone performing their prescribed exercises with individualized instruction from the participating physical therapist. The prescribing therapist will record participants on their own smartphones doing the exercise program in the clinic so that participants can have that video recording of the exercises to help remind them how to do the exercises properly at home. Participants will not be asked to record themselves performing future exercise sessions as documentation of improvement. Intervention: Home Exercise Program and Adherence Logs

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Home Exercise Program and Adherence Logs

Intervention Type OTHER

Both groups will receive physical therapy prescribed home exercises and be asked to record adherence to their program on an exercise log.

Conventional Printed Group

The active comparator group will receive individualized instruction from the participating physical therapist on how to perform their home exercise program as well as printed instructions of the exercises. No video recording of the control group participants will be performed. Intervention: Home Exercise Program and Adherence Logs
