Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome measure is safety when using a rollator in seven potentially problematic situations, measured using a video-based assessment tool with five safety criteria per situation assessed. In addition, both the participant and the responsible caregiver assess subjective safety on an 11-point Likert scale (0–10). The data is collected promptly after each measurement. The reliability of the video assessment is evaluated by the same physiotherapist (7 days later) and by another physiotherapist. To assess sensitivity to change, the video assessment of the 7 potentially problematic situations is repeated after 2 weeks for inpatient rehabilitation patients. The feasibility of the instrument is assessed based on the time required for video recording. | — |
