Most of the rehabilitation sessions are provided to an individual after stroke or spinal
cord injury or to the individual with multiple sclerosis rather then to individuals after
amputation of a lower extremity or a total hip replacement, which seems logical when
the complexity and the chronic character of the consequences of the different
pathologies is considered.
In order to detect trends in the number of sessions per respondent a graph reflecting
the average number of sessions per patient case per respondent completes the analysis.
No outliers are detected though.

A second part of the questionnaire asks the respondents to describe ideas for
optimising rehabilitation programmes for each of the five patient cases, independent of
their own working situation, the current payment systems and the Belgian organisation
model. Concrete recommendations, such as included in a report of the GTA (Greater
Toronto Area) Rehab Network 137 , (see chapter 3.5.1) were hoped for. In that report
recommendations were made for patients after hip replacements such as:
• Standardize the model of care to achieve equitable access to best care;
• Identify and track appropriate outcome measures;
• Develop appropriate triage tools;
