The Impact of Disability Level on Intention to Perform Home Exercises in Patients with Spinal Pain
Journal of Musculoskeletal Pain , 08/12/09

Yildirim Y et al. – When the various sections of the home–based questionnaire were examined according to the groups, no difference was found in the General Intention scores among the three groups. However, the Perceived Consequences scores were found to be significantly lower in Group 2 compared to other groups. In Group 3, the Social Factors scores were in the worst condition when compared to other groups. The affect scores in Group 3 was significantly higher compared to Group 1. Improving the perception of home exercises assigned to spinal pain patients according to disability status requires implementing more effective methods, such as written exercise sheets and video demonstrations, especially in the patients with lower disability status.
