Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| In this study, each participant is measured four times. The first, being the baseline measurement (T0) is prior to physiotherapeutic treatment, while the second is directly after ending the treatment (T1). The following two are respectively six- (T2) and twelve months (T3) after the moment the participant started the treatment. The primary outcome measures are the cost per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gained, mobility measured by the modified Timed up and Go (TUG) and the level of moderate physical activity (LAPAQ). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcomes include: quality of life (EQ-5D), the degree of frailty (Evaluative Frailty Index for Physical activity), perceived effect (Global Perceived Effect and Patient Specific Complaints) and health care utilization costs. In addition, qualitative data of experiences in implementation of Coach2Move will be gathered from interviews with patients and focus groups with physiotherapists. The quantitative analysis will be based on quality indicators of medical records of patients for each physiotherapist scored by the researcher. The files in the control period are compared with those after implementation of Coach2Move. | — |
