Brief Summary

Over the last decade many scientific articles have been published on motor learning in neurological and geriatric rehabilitation. To make the available findings comprehendible and clear for physiotherapists, a card set and website have been developed. The aim of this prospective study is to evaluate the use and experiences of the card set and website designed to aid the physiotherapist in decision making with regards to motor learning. The following research question is central to this evaluation: How are the developed card set and website used and experienced by physiotherapists in primary care during the treatment of patients with neurological or geriatric conditions?

Conditions

Geriatric Patients; Neurological Disorder

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Questionnaire

  A qualitative questionnaire will be filled in three times throughout the study. This questionnaire inquires participants' experience regarding the card set and website.

  Six months

• Monitor

  A quantitative questionnaire will be filled in biweekly. This questionnaire assesses the frequency of usage of the card set and website

  Six months

• Midterm evaluation

  This meeting will be held to further specify and solve user problems. During this in-person session, problems that arise during the usage of the material will be discussed in depth under supervision from an experienced researcher. The meeting will be audio recorded whereafter it will be transcribed and analyzed into clusters and themes.

  At three months into the study

• Consensus meeting

  The goal of this meeting is to reach a final version of the card set and website based on the experiences from the process evaluation. During the in-person session, a nominal group method will ensure consensus regarding possible changes to the material and future directions the material should take e.g., more emphasis on the analogue or digital component or implementation into education. Through communal voting participants will make decisions regarding possible solutions or directions of the material. The session will be audio recorded and transcribed for analysis.

  At six months into the study

Eligibility Criteria
