Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Primary outcome (documentation after each intervention, evaluation at the end of the study period). Intensity of additional videotherapy in the rehabilitation setting - Is the intensity of 5x videotherapy sessions within two weeks, in addition to standard therapies, feasible for the subjects? Subjects' attendance or absence at each session will be documented. - Videotherapy is feasible if subjects bring 100% attendance. Videotherapy is not feasible if subjects do not attend all five interventions. Reasons for non-attendance will be documented by the therapist(s). Feasibility of videotherapy in a rehabilitation setting - Are subjects present for 15 minutes and watch the entire video? The length of time subjects are present from each session is documented. - Videotherapy is feasible if subjects are present for 5x15 minutes and participate fully in the sessions. Reasons for discontinuation are documented by the therapist.	—
