Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study will take about 3-16 months. Participants will be inpatients in the Hennepin Health System that are transitioning into outpatient or home health Physical Therapy or current outpatient patients. Investigators will assess 24 participants for eligibility based on the study's inclusion criteria. If eligible, Investigators will attain informed consent and provide instruction on how to use a coaching app, Hudl Technique, and enter data in the Apple Health Kit (all participants will be gifted an iPad mini 4, cover and Hudl Technique app). Baseline Body Mass Index (BMI) will be taken and entered in the Apple Health Kit. Randomization (1:1) will occur by an outside statistician. 12 patients will be allotted to the control group (receive traditional Outpatient PT and have access to the Apple Health Kit and Hudl Technique with the gifted iPad). 12 patients will be the variable group (receive traditional Outpatient PT, have access to the Apple Health Kit and Hudl Technique with the gifted iPad, and have an adjunct Home Exercise Program which will be administered via tele-health "store and forward" technology 1x/wk). There will be an 8 week assessment in which investigators plan to measure 1) satisfaction with PT (via survey) 2) Home Exercise Program (HEP) compliance (via survey) 3) incidents of ED visits or hospital admissions 4) BMI (via patient report with option to put it in the Apple Health Kit). There will be a 24 week assessment in which investigators will measure the same 4 measurements. Investigators plan on performing this protocol for an additional 24 participants in late 2016/early 2017 (48 participants in total). Unfortunately, this will be a non-blinded (assessor, therapist and participant) study due to the nature of the intervention and how investigators received the funding. Casey Byron will be the Principal Investigator. Investigators would like the statistician to be blinded to group allocation until completion of the study (roughly 3/11/2017).
