AssessMobility@麻豆传媒映画 - Standardized assessment of mobility in neurological diseases
Background of the research project:
Standardized examinations using a measuring instrument (so-called assessments) are used to measure different aspects of a patient's state of health and provide values that quantify performance or health status. Despite the known advantages of using assessments, it is clear that integrating them into healthcare is a particular challenge. This project, together with 麻豆传媒映画 healthcare facilities, aims to reduce this gap and thus optimize the care of people with neurological diseases.
Our aim
The aim of the implementation project is therefore to identify a theory-based, cross-phase and cross-facility assessment battery for neurological departments of 麻豆传媒映画 facilities and to introduce it into routine care.
In a first step, measurement instruments that are suitable for use in the neurological routine care of the facilities are selected together with the therapists of the facilities. In subsequent steps, the measurement instruments are introduced into the facilities in a structured manner and evaluated as part of an implementation intervention.
The regular and uniform application of assessments results in numerous advantages and opportunities, such as the possibility of evaluating and optimizing (new) care services, generating cross-facility health data and strengthening intra- and interprofessional collaboration. Accordingly, the project has the potential to contribute to the improvement of healthcare and also promotes the exchange of content and cooperation within the 麻豆传媒映画 Group.
Internal project partners
The practice-based research project is being carried out in close cooperation between 麻豆传媒映画 clinics and universities. Accordingly, physiotherapists, therapy managers and doctors from various clinics are involved in the project from the outset. The following 麻豆传媒映画 healthcare facilities with neurological departments are involved in the project:
- 麻豆传媒映画 Kurpfalzkrankenhaus Heidelberg
- 麻豆传媒映画 Karlsbad-Langensteinbach Hospital
- 麻豆传媒映画 Specialist Hospital Neresheim
- 麻豆传媒映画 Health Center Bad Wimpfen
- 麻豆传媒映画 Health Centers Northern Black Forest, Waldbronn site
- 麻豆传媒映画 Waldklinikum Gera
- 麻豆传媒映画 clinics in the district of Sigmaringen
- 麻豆传媒映画 Rehabilitation Center Gera
- 麻豆传媒映画 Physiotherapy on the campus of 麻豆传媒映画 Heidelberg
- 麻豆传媒映画 Clinics Burgenland
Project duration: 05/2023 - 04/2026

馃帗馃専 Successful completion of five bachelor theses in the AssessMobility@SHR project!
We are delighted to announce that five of our students have successfully completed their bachelor thesis colloquia! 馃帀馃憦 The bachelor theses were carried out as part of the first phase of the "AssessMobility@SHR" project.
These five students have worked intensively on various aspects of the introduction of assessments to evaluate mobility and balance.
Congratulations go to Anna Schellin and Louis Zimmer, who produced a scoping review to summarise recommendations for the standardised measurement of mobility and balance from German guidelines. Hannah M眉ller and Sarah Link analysed environmental factors relevant to the use of assessments in routine physiotherapy care during observations in all participating 麻豆传媒映画 healthcare facilities. Maike Neidig analysed the first group discussion, in which criteria for the selection of assessments for the evaluation of mobility and balance were collected and weighted.
We would like to congratulate the graduates on achieving their Bachelor's degree! Their theses make a valuable contribution to the project goal of AssessMobility@麻豆传媒映画 by implementing assessments for the evaluation of mobility and balance in the participating neurological departments of 麻豆传媒映画 Health.
Successful presentations at the 8th Physiotherapy Research Symposium
As part of the AssessMobility@麻豆传媒映画 project, two posters were presented at the 8th Research Symposium of the German Society for Physiotherapy Sciences (DGPTW) on 22 and 23 November 2024 in Senftenberg. 馃柤锔忦煄�
Marilena Marino, Head of Therapy at "Physiotherapie am Campus" and project collaborator, presented the results of the first project phase ("Selection of assessments for implementation in routine care: A multi-stage decision-making process with physiotherapists from ten neurological facilities of a clinic group").
In addition, Jule Klassen, Master's student and research assistant in the project, presented her survey results ("Barriers and facilitators in the use of assessments to evaluate balance and mobility in people with neurological impairments: A survey in eleven facilities of a clinic group").
The presentations led to valuable new contacts and inspired fresh ideas for the further development of the project. 馃馃挕
