Twelve weeks

Screen

Ten standardised tests, including the 30-second chair stand, the Timed Up and Go and a four-metre walk.

Train

An individual programme, twice a week for twelve weeks, 20 to 30 minutes a session.

Review

Practice in Denmark

DigiRehab was developed in Denmark and spread through practice. Nearly half of the country’s 98 municipalities use it in their homecare services. Municipalities judge it on their own care records, every year. What they see is that people manage more for themselves, and that staff time and money are saved. Those results are the reason they continue, and the reason few separate trials have been done.

45+ of 98 Danish municipalities use DigiRehab. Each square is one municipality.

Measuring a pilot

First screening Test results First trend Care-hour outcome 52 weeks before: baseline from your care records 12 weeks training follow-up to 52 weeks same records, same definitions
52 weeks before: baseline from your care records First screening 12 weeks of training, twice a week Test results after 12 weeks First trend after 26 weeks Care-hour outcome after 52 weeks Same records, same definitions as the baseline.
  • Agree the rules before the first client starts.
  • Use your own care records, 52 weeks before and after.
  • Report at three levels, the cautious figure first.
