The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of patients’ motivation on rehabilitation outcome. A group of 30 patients, between the ages of 60 and 82 was examined by using Elderly Motivation Scale (EMS-72), Cantril’s ladder and by means of the author’s own survey in which the specific parameters of successful rehabilitation were evaluated: health and life quality assessment, satisfaction with the rehabilitation and willingness to maintain exercise. The study revealed significant correlations between motivation and the determinants of successful rehabilitation. Higher level of intrinsic motivation is associated with better assessment of individuals health and life quality, higher level of satisfaction with rehabilitation and a greater willingness to maintain regular exercise. The level of amotivation increases with age, resulting in worse health assessment and lower life satisfaction

Research in the field of physiotherapy creates some controversy. This article seeks to explore and find out the solutions for this issue. Two aspects are discussed: the difficulties in reconciling the specificity of physiotherapy research with methodological standards and the concerns related to patients’ participation in the research. These problems affect the physiotherapists involved in the creation of ethically and methodologically valuable research project. Physiotherapists conducting research struggle to reconcile two sets of values: the role of a researcher and the role of a professional helper. This article discusses the possibility of creating a valuable research project based on the methodological standards within EBM paradigm in relation to the practical aspects of physiotherapy, such as therapy effectiveness and patient-therapist interaction.
