A 4-Week Mobile App-Based Telerehabilitation Program vs Conventional In-Person Rehabilitation in Older Adults With Sarcopenia: Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sarcopenia is closely associated with a poor quality of life and mortality, and its prevention and treatment represent a critical area of research. Resistance training is an effective treatment for older adults with sarcopenia. However, they often face challenges when receiving traditional rehabilitation treatments at hospitals.

Objective

We aimed to compare the effects of a digital rehabilitation program with those of traditional therapist-supervised rehabilitation training on older adults with sarcopenia.

Methods

In total, 58 older adults with sarcopenia were recruited offline and randomized (1:1) into 2 groups: the telerehabilitation group (TRG, n=29, 50%) and the in-person rehabilitation group (IRG, n=29, 50%). Both groups underwent 4-week resistance tr
