Description

While it is known that exercise should be prescribed at a moderate to high intensity, the intensity of balance exercise that is actually prescribed during physical therapy isn't known. During this research project, student researchers completed observations of physical therapy sessions over 3 years. Linear regression analysis and correlational analysis was then used to investigate possible relationships between intensity of balance activities prescribed during therapy and intrinsic therapist or patient demographics. Can we predict who gets more intense and who gets less intense balance exercise?
