ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking to create and test an Arabic version of a tool called the Outpatient Physical Therapy Improvement in Movement Assessment Log. The goal is to make sure this tool is accurately translated and culturally adapted so that it can be used effectively by Arabic-speaking patients. This tool helps assess how much patients have improved in their physical therapy sessions, which is important for understanding their recovery.

To participate in this study, you need to be an adult, at least 18 years old, and have been receiving physical therapy for at least a month. Both men and women can join, as long as they can read and write in Arabic and understand the questions in the survey. However, if you have severe cognitive issues or are unable to provide informed consent, you won't be eligible. Participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire to help researchers ensure that the Arabic version of the tool works well for Arabic-speaking patients. The study is not yet recruiting, but it aims to improve physical therapy assessments for those who speak Arabic, helping to enhance their treatment experience.
