Video-Based Physiotherapy Education and Social Participation in Adults With Hand Injuries

May 11, 2026 updated by: Melike Nur CAN, Istanbul University - Cerrahpasa

Determination of Factors Affecting Social Participation and Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Video-Based Physiotherapy Awareness Education in Adults With Hand Injuries.

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the factors affecting social participation in adult patients with hand injuries and to evaluate the effectiveness of a video-based physiotherapy awareness education in this population.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does a short, video-based physiotherapy education increase the knowledge and awareness levels of patients with hand injuries?

What are the primary factors (body functions and activity limitations) that restrict the social participation of these patients?

Participants will:

Complete baseline assessments including a sociodemographic form, the Quick-DASH questionnaire, and custom participation and awareness forms.

Receive a 10-15 minute video-supported education session from physiotherapists covering home strategies, exercises, and assistive devices.

Complete the knowledge and awareness test again immediately after the education session to measure acute changes.

  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Video Education Group
All participants in this single-arm study will receive the video-based physiotherapy awareness education immediately after completing the baseline assessments.
Behavioral: Video-Based Physiotherapy Awareness Education
A 10-15 minute video-supported education session provided by physiotherapists. The content includes visual and verbal materials based on current literature regarding the role of the physiotherapist in hand injuries, simple strategies applicable at home and in the community, home exercises, and assistive devices.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Knowledge and Awareness Levels
Time Frame: Baseline (pre-education) and immediately post-education (after the 10-15 minute session)
Knowledge will be assessed using a custom 7-item multiple-choice test based on the video education content. Awareness will be assessed using a custom 5-item questionnaire with binary categorical responses. For data interpretation and statistical analysis, categorical responses are numerically coded where "yes" is coded as 1 and "no" is coded as 2. Results will be presented by calculating the frequency of correct answers and specific responses for each question.
Baseline (pre-education) and immediately post-education (after the 10-15 minute session)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Activity Limitation
Time Frame: Baseline (pre-education)
Activity limitation will be measured using the Quick Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (Quick-DASH) questionnaire. The Quick-DASH is a valid and reliable 11-item tool designed to evaluate physical function and symptoms in patients with upper limb disorders. Higher scores indicate greater disability.
Baseline (pre-education)
Social Participation Barriers
Time Frame: Baseline (pre-education)
Evaluated using an 8-item, custom questionnaire based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework. Responses are recorded as binary categorical options to identify specific environmental and social barriers. Consistent with the study's data dictionary, "yes" responses are coded as 1 and "no" responses are coded as 2. The frequency of responses will be presented as percentage values for each question.
Baseline (pre-education)
