What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.

Summary

This study looks at whether the Iowa Level of Assistance (ILoA) scale is a reliable tool for measuring functional recovery in patients after joint replacement surgery. Researchers will have multiple physiotherapists assess the same patients to see if their scores agree. The goal is to ensure that this scale gives consistent results, which could help standardize recovery tracking in orthopedic care.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The study will recruit both patients and physiotherapists. Patients will be those who, according to routine clinical practice, are assessed using the Iowa Level of Assistance (ILoA) scale and who provide informed consent to participate in the study and to be video-recorded. Physiotherapists will administer the ILoA scale during clinical assessments and, subsequently, will reassess patient performance by reviewing the video recordings of the participating patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * For Observers (Physiotherapists): All physiotherapists working at the main Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli (IOR) site in Bologna or at the two satellite sites in Argenta and Bagheria. Physiotherapists must have the role of observers in the study. All physiotherapists affiliated with the SAITeR service who have previously received initial training in the use of the ILoA scale; newly hired staff must have completed the specific training pathway. For Patients: Patients admitted to IOR Bologna or Argenta for whom administration of the ILoA scale is part of routine clinical practice. Patients undergoing primary hip or knee arthroplasty for osteoarthritis. Patients undergoing revision hip or knee arthroplasty. Patients undergoing hip arthroplasty or osteosynthesis for femoral fracture. Exclusion Criteria: * Refusal or inability to provide informed consent (for both physiotherapists and patients).
