Study summary
Physiotherapists' experiences using AlphaPWR in patient follow-up
- Clinical practice
- Feedback
In brief
This qualitative thesis explored how two physiotherapists experienced AlphaPWR in treatment and follow-up. The interviewees described objective feedback as useful for motivation, assessment and individualisation. The authors explicitly noted that two interviews are not representative and that the technology should support, not replace, professional judgement.
What was studied
The study used two semi-structured qualitative interviews with physiotherapists. The transcripts were analysed using an approach inspired by systematic text condensation.
