Abstract
IntroductionMovement orientated Mind-Body-Interventions become more popular. But there are no standardized documentation tools to show if an improvement in movement could correlate with an improvement in health. Yet systematic documentation is a vital requirement to their efficacy. MethodWe developed a 5-module documentation structure including patients’ perspective. Over a period of five months 11 therapists used the modules to document their treatments on 41 patients and evaluated their feasibility at hand a questionnaire. Results10 therapists and 37 patients met the inclusion criteria. In a documented variety of treatment concepts moderate to large effect size in observed movement qualities was found. Furthermore large correlation of observed movement qualities and patients’ self-reported Quality of Life indicators could be shown. ConclusionThe modules were regarded feasible. Moreover, the outcomes showed initial sensitivity to change. They should therefore be tested in various movement orientated Mind-Body-Therapies.
