Overview
Within the Center of Rehabilitation multidisciplinary treatment is provided to people with various physical disabilities and/or chronic diseases. During and in the context of this treatment, a lot of data is routinely collected. Rehablines is initiated to re-use this routine clinical data in a database for future scientific research. Rehablines aims to: - Efficiently conduct high quality scientific research aimed at patient characteristics, underlying disease processes, and treatment effects; - Provide insight into (short and long-term) treatment effects and efficiency of these rehabilitation treatments; - Personalize treatment by comparing data from the individual patient with data from a large number of patients with similar characteristics from Rehablines.
Primary outcome measures
- Clinical data [Time frame: Timepoint 1: pre-treatment. Timepoint 2: throughout study completion (on average 12 weeks). Timepoint 3: up to 1 year follow up]
