Physical activity benefits patients in rehabilitation yet comes with various safety issues. The built environment impacts on both safety and physical activity. We aim to explore the role of the built environment in safety issues related to being physically active in rehabilitation. We conducted a case study at a free-standing rehabilitation center for patients with Multiple Sclerosis, neurologic, or locomotor issues. Patients participated in two interviews supported by activity tracking data. Care professionals participated in focus group interviews respectively with two therapists and four head nurses. Accessibility and physical barriers, visual connections and (in)dependence, and spatial familiarity are important themes when identifying aspects of the built environment in relation to reducing safety issues patients encounter during physical activity. Raising awareness about each of these among care and design professionals could help them to balance safety issues in relation to physical activity and to communicate about them in a nuanced way.

建筑环境如何影响与身体活动相关的患者安全？康复中心的经历

体育活动有益于患者的康复，但也带来了各种安全问题。建筑环境对安全和身体活动都有影响。我们的目标是探索建筑环境在与康复活动相关的安全问题中的作用。我们在一个独立的康复中心针对患有多发性硬化症、神经系统或运动问题的患者进行了案例研究。患者参加了两次由活动跟踪数据支持的访谈。护理专业人员分别与两名治疗师和四名护士长进行了焦点小组访谈。在确定建筑环境的各个方面以减少患者在体育活动期间遇到的安全问题时，可达性和物理障碍、视觉联系和（内）依赖性以及空间熟悉度是重要的主题。提高护理和设计专业人员对这些问题的认识可以帮助他们平衡与身体活动相关的安全问题，并以细致入微的方式就这些问题进行沟通。
