About this study

Official title: Development, Reliability and Validity of the Telerehabilitation Usability Questionnaire- TrUQ in Neurological Diseases

Neurological diseases are central nervous system diseases that cause an increase in the level of disability and limitations in daily life. Multiple Sclerosis (MS), stroke, and Parkinson's Disease (PD) are among the most common apparent neurological diseases, and epidemiological studies show that their prevalence has increased over time worldwide. Although MS, stroke, and PD have different causes and neurological aspects, they generally cause motor, sensory, and/or cognitive impairments, leading to restriction of the individual's activities and participation. Today, physiotherapy and rehabilitation approaches together with optimal medical and surgical treatment are the cornerstones of treatment for these diseases. Recently, it has been stated that various telerehabilitation interventions in the field of physiotherapy and rehabilitation may be an additional option to the rehabilitation approaches applied in the clinic. On the other hand, It is important to evaluate the level of usability in expanding the usability of telerehabilitation services and determining the best telerehabilitation service. For this reason, there is a need for questionnaires investigating the satisfaction level of physiotherapy and rehabilitation applied through telerehabilitation.

Read the detailed description

Questionnaire items will be created in two stages. First, 5 experts will independently review the literature on "telerehabilitation" and "usability". In addition, these experts will be asked to create a pool of questions based on their experiences in telerehabilitation and by taking the opinions of patients receiving telerehabilitation about usability. Then, 5 experts will come together and obtain a single question pool containing the questions they deem important in their question pool. The second step will involve scaling the elements. In this study, scale items will be scored on a five-point Likert scale, ranging from 1, strongly disagree to 5, strongly agree. Then, it will be applied to a pilot group of 10 people and it will be evaluated whether the items prepared by the experts are understood by the patients. In line with the expert opinion and the result of the pilot study, the final version of the scale will be decided and applied to MS, PD, and stroke patients who make up the study group. Finally, the validity and reliability of the questionnaire will be calculated.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Telerehabilitation Usability Questionnaire in patients with Neurological disease

    Patients get a minimum of 0 points (best condition) and a maximum of 4 points (worst condition) for each question on this scale

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Telerehabilitation Usability Questionnaire in patients with Neurological disease-Second

    Patients get a minimum of 0 points (best condition) and a maximum of 4 points (worst condition) for each question on this scale

    Measured: he second assessment will be conducted after the one week

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Telerehabilitation Usability Questionnaire in patients with Neurological disease (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05970939, which also lists 1 linked publication.
