Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
600 patients at 10 rehabilitation facilities are surveyed at four measurement points - at the beginning of rehabilitation, at the end of rehabilitation, 3 and 6 months after rehabilitation. On the patient side, data on [a] daily activities, [b] mobility, [c] physical functioning, [d] emotional status, [e] general pain burden and [f] muscle and joint pain are collected using the following instruments: - Short Musculoskeletal Function Assessment Questionnaire (SFMA-D) [a, b, c, d]. - Indicators of Rehabilitation Status (IRES): Pain scales [e]. - IRES: Mobility scale [b] - IRES: Activities of daily living [a] - IRES: Musculoskeletal Symptoms Scale [f]. Furthermore, data on the general health status (IRES: dimension mental well-being, coping with illness, social integration; scale symptoms cardiovascular) and socio-demography are recorded as potential confounding factors. In addition, medical assessments are carried out at the beginning and end of rehabilitation: Data on the [g] walking ability and, depending on the indication, [h] hip-specific (e.g. limping, stair climbing, walking aids) or [i] knee-specific outcome aspects (e.g. mobility, stability) are collected using the following instruments: - 6-minute walk test [g] - Harris Hip Score [h] - Knee-Society-Score [i]	—
