Brief summary in lay language

Goal orientation plays a big role in supporting motivation towards an adherent bahavior in physiotherapy. The aim of the study is to gain evidence about the effect of a goal orientated motivational concepet which will be applyed and carried out between the patient and the responsible physiotherapist. The controll group will receive the usual care whilst the intervention group is getting the additional motivational concept. The concept includes a regularly based control of the patient progress towards the determined goals.

Brief summary in scientific language

Introduction: Recent studies show that goal orientation plays a big role for supporting therapy motivation for physiotherapy treated inpatients. Questions about how to implement this kind of concept in to practice still remains unsolved and open. Question: What are the effects of an goal orientated concept towards improving physiotherapy results for musculoscelettal handicapped inpatients with usual care compared to musculoscelettal handicapped inpatients receiving the goal orientation concept additional to usal care? Method: In a clinical controlled trial the baseline group will be compared with the experimental group. Included pathologies are only for lower limp handicaps. Data will be compared for the Stair Climp Power Test, extent of pain, joint range of motion, level of goal attainment, patient statisfaction and the amount of canceled appointments Expected results: It'll be expected that the experimental goup will improve more than the controll group.

Interventions, Observational Groups

Arm 1:
Physiotherapy usual care for inpatients without goal orientation - based on regulations by law for inpatients physiotherapy care.
Arm 2:
Physiotherapy usual care for inpatients with goal orientation

Endpoints

Primary outcome:
Improvment of the Stair Climb Power Test. First appointment is also first measuring date. Last appointment is final measuring date.
Secondary outcome:
Improvment joint mobility (range of motion) via goniometer, reduce of pain (visual analog scale). Goal attainment (GAS), amount canceled appointments, and Munich questionaire of patients satisfaction (MFBP-18) - (first appointment - last appointment are the measuring dates)
