Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary outcome is the amount of moderate and strenuous physical exercise during a typical week of the last month in minutes per week as measured by a modified version of the Godin Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire. The baseline score is assessed in the study cente at the beginning of rehabilitation. Follow-up measurements are assessed by postal questionnaires after one and nine months .

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Limitations of physical functions: Functional complaints are assessed with the short version of the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). The short form covers pain (five items) and function (eight items). The single items with values from 0 to 4 are summed. Sum scores are then transformed into values ranging from 0 to 100. Higher values represent a greater impairment. General health status: The general health status is assessed with five items from the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). The items are summarised to a total score with values ranging from 0 to 100. Higher values represent a better health status. Depression: Depressive mood is measured by the 2-item depression scale of the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-2). The items assess the frequency (0= “not at all” to 3 = “nearly every day”) of two depressive core symptoms (little interest or pleasure in doing things and feeling down, depressed, or hopeless). The total score ranges from 0 to 6 points. Outcome expectancies: Positive outcome expectancies are assessed with five 4-point items (1= “not at all true” to 4= “exactly true”), e.g. “When I am regularly physically active, I am doing something good for my health.” Self-Efficacy: Self-efficacy of performing physical activity is assessed with five 4-point items (1 = “not at all true” to 4 = “exactly true”), e.g. “I am certain, that I will be physically active, even though I have other concerns." Intention of physical activity: For the measurement of intentions of physical activity, we use three items, e.g. “I intend to do more sports”. The response format for the items has 4 levels (1 = “not at all true” to 4 = “exactly true”). Action planning: The planning of physical activity is measured by three 4-point items (1 = “not at all true” to 4 = “exactly true”), which assess which, where and when and how often physical activity is planned, e.g. “I have already planned in detail, where I will be physically active.” Action
