The aim of this study is to assess the level of and relationship between the exercise habits of patients receiving long-term physical rehabilitation treatment and their level of personal training on the matter. A survey was conducted in order to obtain the sought data, whereupon it was revealed that of the families of the forty (40) patents who were surveyed: 40% had lacked any training whatsoever in order to carry out the prescribed therapeutic exercises at home, 37.5% had received adequate training but nevertheless did not carry out the exercises, and 10% had expressed feeling uncomfortable when they did carry through with the given exercises. It moreover was observed that 12.5% of the children of those families had felt that they were incapable of completing those exercises at home, and that 5% of the interviewees had indicated experiencing a mental block of sorts—thus ultimately preventing them from competing their exercises. Nonetheless, 82.5% of families did support at-home rehabilitation exercises—40% of whom did the exercises once per week. What is more, 92.5% of individuals had reported observing progress upon the completion of rehab training, albeit this progress advancing rather slowly (67.5% of patients had observed that this positive progression only after a prolonged period of time). According to the answers provided, patients’ families in general lacked sufficient knowledge regarding the supporting of therapeutic exercises, and that the patients themselves had therefore lacked sufficient support, which in turn lead to those patients lacking sufficient awareness about doing at-home exercises due to psychological barriers. What can ultimately be concluded is that the patients in question had shown rather slow progress within the scope of their rehabilitation program.
