KEY AREA KEY ROLE KEY FUNCTIONS A. Planning A1. Assess the role and added

value of an Adapted Physical Activity programme within the multidisciplinary character of the rehabilitation programme.

A1.1. Identify the responsibilities of the APA programme as a complementary part of the rehabilitation programme. A1.2. Identify the strengths and weaknesses of the currently used rehabilitation and APA programme. A1.3. Identify the available and required resources (facilities, equipment) to implement the APA programme. A1.4. Develop a structured Adapted Physical Activity programme in collaboration with rehabilitation team. A1.5. Identify the short and long term aims of the Adapted Physical Activity programme.

A2. Assess the (dis)abilities, risk factors, needs and potential of the patient / client.

A2.1. Understand the condition of the patients / clients and its consequences in terms of functional (dis)abilities, health conditions, etc... A2.2. Understand clinical investigation data (e.g. X-rays, gait analyses, cardiorespiratory tests) and the conclusions and recommendations of rehabilitation specialists. A2.3. Assess the patient’s / client’s current and potential level of functioning. A2.4. Understand the patient’s / client’s response to physical activity; identify and remediate potential contraindications, health risks and risk factors.

B. Education & Information

B1. Educate patients / clients about their (dis)abilities and potential through physical activity.

B1.1. Educate the patient / client about his/her functional (dis)abilities, response to exercise, potential health risks, risk factors and contraindications with regards to physical activity. B1.2 Educate the patient / client about the recognition and remediation of symptoms that potentially lead to health risks, injuries, etc... B1.3. Educate patients / clients about the APA programme and its benefits during rehabilitation.

B2. Provide the appropriate information to guarantee a continuation of an active lifestyle

B2.1. Inform the patient / client about community based physical activity programmes, and the short and long term benefits of physical activity. B2.2. Provide a database with information regarding companies and community based

post rehabilitation. organisations to ensure a continuation of an active life style post rehabilitation.

B2.3. Provide information regarding legislation about possible benefits from national, regional and local governing bodies with respect to physical activity and sports post rehabilitation.

C. Implementation C1. Implement an individualised

Adapted Physical Activity programme complementary to the other disciplines within the rehabilitation programme.

C1.1. Develop a structured and individualised APA programme in collaboration with the multidisciplinary team. C1.2. Facilitate and optimise participation through adaptation of the instructions, encouragements, rules and settings when appropriate. C1.3. Initiate community based physical activity.

D. Assessment & Evaluation

D1. Evaluate the effects of the Adapted Physical Activity programme as a part of the rehabilitation and post- rehabilitation process.

D1.1. Monitor the long term health related outcomes of the Adapted Physical Activity programme. D1.2. Determine the effects of the Adapted Physical Activity programme on functional ability of the patients/clients in collaboration with rehabilitation team.

D2. Evaluate the patient’s/client’s response to physical activity, his/her progress, and compare with the preset goals.

D2.1. Assess and evaluate the patient’s / client’s physical and psychological well being and its progress, and remediate if necessary. D2.2. Assess the motivation of the patient/client toward the Adapted Physical Activity programme, and remediate if necessary. D2.3. Monitor and assess the responses to physical activity to ensure safe and successful participation. D2.4. Document individual development and progress according to the aims of the rehabilitation and the APA programme. D2.5.
