Sensor-based telerehabilitation system increases patient adherence after knee surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Implementing evidence-based recommendations with the option of patient-individualised and situation-specific adaptations in telerehabilitation may increase adherence with improved clinical outcome.

Methods

As part of a registry-embedded hybrid design (part 1), digital medical device (DMD)-usage in a home-based setting was analysed in a multinational registry. The DMD combines an inertial motion-sensor system with instructions for exercises and functional tests on smartphones. A prospective, single-blinded, patient-controlled, multicentre intervention study (DRKS00023857) compared implementation capacity of the DMD to standard physiotherapy (part 2). Usage patterns by health care providers (HCP) were assessed (part 3).
