Pilot study on the feasibility of capturing therapies and effort during rehabilitation

Zusammenfassung der Studie

In this study, we want to investigate whether it is possible to better document rehabilitation sessions using wearable sensors as well as audio and video recordings. During your regular therapy, you will wear two small sensors on your wrist. These measure, for example, your heart rate and your movement. Additionally, the therapy session will be recorded with a fixed camera to make your movements visible. The voice of the therapist will be recorded so that the content of the session can be reviewed later. Your own voice does not need to be recorded. Before starting therapy and after the end of therapy, you will sit quietly for five minutes each time to measure comparison values. After individual exercises, you will be briefly asked how strenuous the exercise was for you. Your therapy itself will not be changed by the study. No additional treatments will be performed. The study is only intended to check whether this type of data collection works well in regular therapy practice. Participation is voluntary. If you do not wish to participate or decide to withdraw later, it will not affect your treatment. All data will be treated confidentially and stored without your name.
