Abstract
The aim of this article is to obtain nationwide information about contentual and conceptual characteristics of exercise therapy in medical rehabilitation. It investigates the question to what extend these characteristics differ, depending on indication fields and structural features of rehabilitation centres. In a nationwide cross-sectional study, 1146 rehabilitation centres of all indication fields have been contacted in order to recruit exercise therapists in charge for a pseudonymised written survey. For the analysis, 713 questionnaires from 529 rehabilitation centres were consulted. Analysis of variance of the indication fields has shown significant differences in evaluation of influenceability of the rehabilitants' starting conditions as well as in the estimated importance of exercise-therapy-related content. Also structural features of the rehabilitation centres contributed to further clarification of variance. There is a contentual and conceptual variety in exercise therapy. Besides indication-specific differences, there are considerable variances which suggest differences between rehabilitation centres within the same indication field.
