Dear students, this is a concluding presentation on the topic research agenda of your rehabilitation

class. So we are dealing now with exercise therapy in rehabilitation requirement quality

challenges. The model that you have known from this course is the ICF model with the

different dimensions from the health condition on the top with the ICF coding that can be

applied with the body function and structure level here with activities and participation

and the contextual factors that is the environmental factors and the personal factors.

We've learned this model as a more abstract framework which may guide modern rehabilitation

at different stages.

We have learned evaluation tools, we have learned the model, we have learned the rehab

cycle that is linked with it and also what the big shots, what the new achievements were

by this model.

Even though we have had the contextual factors in this model, we can ask the question what

are the personal, what are the environmental factors and indeed my colleague Wolfgang

Geidel has made the effort in one of his articles to assign different behaviour change theories

to the field of personal factors that he has done.

And among the most important factors he listed for example knowledge as an important contributor

to a physical active lifestyle, self-efficacy, consequence, expectation, action planning,

physical fitness, motor skills, experience, body awareness, effective attitude and so

on and this was quite a big work that he has done by trying to assign the different theories

into this model or to show the compatibility of the model with the different models.

So when we look at exercise therapy then we can say oh exercise therapy uses the different

constructs of this model and tries to promote them.

Of course personal factors, this was the work by Wolfgang Geidel that he has primarily done

of course and they are also geared towards improving activity, the independence of the

persons and of course exercise therapy is also used as a means to promote better body

function and structure there is no doubt.

And as one of the most important results of such an assignment work is also maybe to bundle

the different concept into a separate model and that is what I have already presented

in one of the first sessions.

It was the physical activity related health competence model especially with the sub domains

of movement competence, self-regulation competence and control competence.

So from a theoretical perspective there was indeed improvement and development in the

field but and this was now the most important question.

How can then these different principles and theoretical components and also here the action

framework advocating for intertwining of learning of exercise and experience the different principles.

How can the health behavior change?

How do they enter the field of rehabilitation?

So we have the goal of long-term adherence to physical activity that is a major challenge

as we have known from the introductory part and also from the topics of theory and so

on but is there an organizational readiness in the area of exercise therapy?

Is there an organizational readiness in the area of rehabilitation?

What's happening in exercise therapy?

And when we are talking now about the topic of a research agenda or rehabilitation research

then I now want to present you a concrete project that has been done in the recent year

in our division and this should serve you as an example for a research project as concrete

research undertakings in the field of rehabilitation.

The project that I'm now talking about is the project bewegter Rieha in Germany.

If you would translate it then it would mean exercise therapy in medical rehabilitation

a nationwide inventory at the facility and actor level.

For you as a background exercise therapy is often a black box.
