Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of an individualized video recording in improving adherence in home exercise programs for orthopaedic physical therapy patients. Specific aims: 1\. Evaluate whether individualized video recordings improve adherence with home exercise programs (HEP) as compared with conventional printed instructions measured by a self-report exercise log. (1-tail analysis)
Detailed description
This investigation will focus on the specific issues surrounding adherence to the use of individualized video recordings via smartphone versus conventional printed instructions in patients with orthopaedic injuries. The data reported will be used to explore the feasibility and potential benefits of smartphone usage for home exercise adherence.
Interventions
OTHERHome Exercise Program and Adherence Logs

| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Home Exercise Adherence | Weekly for 6 weeks | Data will be recorded via a self-reported exercise log that includes number of days exercises were completed per week. Participants will record the number of days participants did All of the program (defined as doing 100% of their exercises), Most of the program (defined as doing 75% of their exercises), Some of the program (defined as doing 50% of their program, and None of the program (defined as doing 0% of their exercise program). |
