Multicomponent Telerehabilitation to Engage Veterans in Effective Self-Management of Complex Health Conditions

This is a functional performance test for aerobic endurance. It requires participants to march in place for 2 minutes (alternating legs), and the score is the number of repetitions completed on the right leg. Scores are continuous, and higher scores indicate better aerobic endurance.

This is a functional performance test for upper body strength and is performed on each arm (one arm at a time). It requires the participant to perform as many arm curls (biceps curls) as possible in 30 seconds. Males use a 8 pound weight and females use a 5 pound weight. Scores are continuous, and higher scores indicate greater arm strength (better outcome)

The test uses a standard height chair and requires the participant to stand up and sit down as many times as possible in 30 seconds. More repetitions indicate better lower extremity strength.

Physical activity will be measured via accelerometry and will include an averaged daily step count.

Four-item survey collected via interview format, and it is used to categorize participants into stages of change according to the Transtheoretical Model, possible stages include: (pre-contemplating, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance).

A 9-item survey, each item is scored on a scale of 0 (not confident) to 10 (very confident) and higher scores indicate greater self-efficacy.

A 8-item survey rated on a 5-point Likert scale [I am not at all confident (1) to I am very confident (5)], and higher scored indicates better self-efficacy.

This is a questionnaire collected via interview format that quantifies activity or participation limitations that are important to the patient. Each participant identifies 3 activities that are important and that they are currently unable to do or having difficult performing due to their health; each item is then rated on a 0 (unable to preform activity) 0 to 10 (able to perform activity at the same level as before injury or problem) scale. The total score is an average of the 3 activities.

This questionnaire consists of 18 items rated on a 4-point Likert scale in response to the prompt, "How much difficulty do you currently have..." Total scores range from 18 to 72 and higher scores indicate less difficulty with physical tasks.

This is a 29-item questionnaire, and most items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale. There is one pain intensity item rated on a 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable) scale. Higher scores indicate more of the concept being measured.

An 8-item questionnaire rated on a 1 (never) to 5 (always) Likert scale. Higher scores indicate greater perceptions of loneliness and isolation, which is considered a worse outcome.

Includes 7 items rated on a 1 (not at all) to 5 (very much) Likert scale. Higher scores indicate greater satisfaction with discretionary social activities.

A 20 -item survey rated on a scale of 1 (never true) to 7 (always true) that measures emotional, informational, instrumental, validation, and companionship support related to physical activity. Higher scores indicated greater levels of perceived social support.

Consists of 22 items scored as yes (1 point) or no (0 points) that assess whether or not a person does or would have pain during activities. There are also 2 items measured on a scale of 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain). Total scores range from 0-42 and adjusted scores range from 0-100 with higher scores indicating worse pain.

This measures both active (transformation, distraction, reducing demands) and passive (retreating, worrying, resting) coping strategies. The inventory includes 34 items rated on a scale from 1 (hardly ever) to 4 (very often). Higher scores indicate more frequent use of each specific coping strategy.
