Clinical Efficacy of Multimodal Exercise Telerehabilitation Based on AI for Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain: Randomized Controlled Trial

Clinical Efficacy of Multimodal Exercise Telerehabilitation Based on AI for Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain: Randomized Controlled Trial

We, therefore, aimed to explore the effects of AI-assisted multimodal exercise on pain intensity, body function, psychology, and the core muscles in CNSLBP telerehabilitation. This was a prospective, double-arm, open-label, randomized controlled clinical study conducted in Guangzhou, China, from March to October 2023 at Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University.

Gamification in mHealth Apps for Rehabilitation: Protocol for a Scoping Review

Gamification in mHealth Apps for Rehabilitation: Protocol for a Scoping Review

With the use of digital health and telerehabilitation on the rise, the topic of m Health apps for physical therapy interventions is an emerging and important topic for clinicians. This scoping review seeks to map existing literature on the use of gamified mobile apps in physical rehabilitation in a home environment. Results will summarize research on gamified mobile apps to assist physical rehabilitation professionals with decision-making on remote interventions to enhance patient engagement and adherence.

Effect of Digital Exercise Therapy on the Pain and Physical Function of Patients With Osteoarthritis: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Effect of Digital Exercise Therapy on the Pain and Physical Function of Patients With Osteoarthritis: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

During the COVID-19 pandemic, home telerehabilitation became a widely used strategy for OA rehabilitation, with patients guided remotely by therapists using telecommunication technology [13-15]. Internet-based interventions offer the potential to reach a broad audience at minimal or no cost, irrespective of geographical location, enabling exercise to be performed from the comfort and convenience of home, thereby mitigating some of the barriers to exercise reported in the OA population [16].

Paving the Road for More Ethical and Equitable Policies and Practices in Telerehabilitation in Psychology and Neuropsychology: Protocol for a Rapid Review

Paving the Road for More Ethical and Equitable Policies and Practices in Telerehabilitation in Psychology and Neuropsychology: Protocol for a Rapid Review

In previous years, the use of telerehabilitation (TR), also known as virtual rehabilitation, has rapidly increased [1-3]. TR is the branch of telehealth whose purpose is to remotely assess, monitor, or provide rehabilitation that best meets the patient’s needs [4]. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the public health system has been compelled to adjust its services in response to the emerging health crisis, which included making necessary changes in care delivery methods [4,5].

The Effectiveness of Telerehabilitation in Managing Pain, Strength, and Balance in Adult Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis: Systematic Review

The Effectiveness of Telerehabilitation in Managing Pain, Strength, and Balance in Adult Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis: Systematic Review

Ultimately, 6 studies met the predefined inclusion criteria, involving a total of 581 patients with KOA who received telerehabilitation intervention. The inclusion criteria required participants to be at least 18 years old, diagnosed with KOA, and undergoing telerehabilitation intervention. Flow chart of the search and selection process.

Balancing Challenges and Opportunities When Evaluating Remote Rehabilitation for Sarcopenia in Older Adults

Balancing Challenges and Opportunities When Evaluating Remote Rehabilitation for Sarcopenia in Older Adults

Dear Editor: We are writing to share our thoughts on the article “A 4-Week Mobile App–Based Telerehabilitation Program vs Conventional In-Person Rehabilitation in Older Adults With Sarcopenia: Randomized Controlled Trial” [1] published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research. This research presents a significant exploration into the rehabilitation of older adults with sarcopenia, comparing a mobile app–based telerehabilitation approach with traditional in-person rehabilitation.

Home-Based Nonimmersive Virtual Reality Training After Discharge From Inpatient or Outpatient Stroke Rehabilitation: Parallel  Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

Home-Based Nonimmersive Virtual Reality Training After Discharge From Inpatient or Outpatient Stroke Rehabilitation: Parallel Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

NIVIRT can be used as a form of asynchronous telerehabilitation, in which the therapy is done without the therapist being present, either in-person or virtually [6]. Telerehabilitation using NIVRT has been shown to be as good as conventional therapy for the rehabilitation of upper extremity deficits, activities of daily living, and postural balance after stroke [12-14].
