Summary

• Patients receiving physical therapy (PT) at the University of Illinois at Chicago Faculty Practice (UICFP) meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: control group (CG) receiving standard care and an experimental group (EG) receiving standard care in addition to being provided a strength education video (SEV). The SEV is a short video designed to provide instructions clarifying how to do strength-based exercises by monitoring a fatigue response with a set of any exercise. The EG will watch the video with headphones in the waiting room of the UICFP on an iPad. The EG will also be provided a handout with a link and QR code to the video on YouTube.com. Functional changes with PT will be tracked for both groups using a Patient Specific Functional Scale (PSFS) questionnaire at initial evaluation, follow up at session 3 or 4, and at any date of anticipated discharge. Basic demographic data (age, sex), dates of data collection, and any discharge dates will be tracked as well. If questions arise regarding the content of the SEV then the treating physical therapist will be permitted to answer and apply the content at their discretion. All therapists will have pre-approved the content of the video to ensure there are no contradictions to their usual methods of care. Data will be gathered for up to 3 months.

Strength education video

The Strength education video must be watched by the patient at the University of Illinois at Chicago Faculty Practice (UICFP) prior to leaving from the 3rd physical therapy visit. The Experimental Group (EG) will watch the video in the waiting room or other quiet available rooms on the 3rd floor within the UICFP. The video will be watched from an iPad/tablet/laptop/desktop computer device as available in the clinic. The EG will also be provided a handout with a link and quick response code to the video on YouTube.com
