“…Recently, in the orthopedic rehabilitation field, novel approaches have been proposed with smartphone application, 12–16 and since smartphones are equipped with Inertia Measurement Units, joint movements can be detected and measured. 5,17 Smartphone usage for home-based rehabilitation and exercise is an attractive option because the penetration rate of smartphones is extraordinarily high, 18–20 and given the focus on cost control and expected reductions in visits to clinics and numbers of meetings with physical therapists.…”

Objectives: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of smartphone-assisted self-rehabilitation in patients with frozen shoulder. Design: A single-center, randomized controlled trial. Setting: Orthopedic department of a university hospital. Subjects: A total of 84 patients with frozen shoulder were recruited. Intervention: Patients were randomly divided into two groups: a smartphone-assisted exercise group (n = 42) and a conventional self-exercise group (n = 42). The study was performed over three months, during which each group performed home-based rehabilitation. Main measures: Visual analogue scale for pain and passive shoulder range of motion were assessed at baseline and after 4, 8, and 12 weeks of treatment. Technology Acceptance Model–2 and Usefulness, Satisfaction, and Ease of Use scores were evaluated in the smartphone group. Results: Initial visual analogue scale for pain of the smartphone group was 6.0 ± 2.2 and ended up with 1.8 ± 2.5 after 12 weeks, whereas the self-exercise group showed 5.8 ± 2.3 for the baseline visual analogue scale for pain and 2.2 ± 1.7 at the end. Significant time-dependent improvements in all measured values were observed in both groups (all Ps < 0.001), but no significant intergroup difference was observed after 4, 8, or 12 weeks of treatment. In the smartphone group, Technology Acceptance Model–2 and Usefulness, Satisfaction, and Ease of Use scores showed high patient satisfaction with smartphone-assisted exercise. Conclusion: There was no difference between home-based exercise using a smartphone application and a conventional self-exercise program for the treatment of frozen shoulder in terms of visual analogue scale for pain and range of motions.

“…In our case, we have investigated injury in form of EMG/NCV within 24 h of the surgery. This should be followed by early medical management including steroid use and passive mobilization and electrical stimulation along with physiotherapy protocol [ 11 ]. The same treatment protocol was followed in our case too.…”

Introduction: Internal Jugular Venous (IJV) cannulation or central-line insertion is frequently performed during kyphoscoliosis deformity correction surgery or spine surgery with high risk. This helps monitor central venous pressure and administer medicines when required. Although many complications of IJV cannulation have been reported in the literature, its effect on brachial plexus is not known. The objective of this paper was to report a rare complication of IJV during scoliosis surgery. Case Presentation: We reported a case of 27-year-old male who was operated for severe kyphoscoliosis correction where preoperatively IJV cannulation was done. Repeated attempts were done during IJV cannula insertion due to altered anatomy. Eventually, cannula insertion was done using ultrasound modality and surgery for correction was done. Postoperatively patient developed right upper extremity weakness and sensory loss although the clinical result of kyphoscoliosis correction was acceptable. EMG-NCV study proved it brachial plexus injury. The patient was treated with intravenous steroid and physiotherapy. The patient recovered completely within 6 months of surgery. Conclusion: We reported a case of kyphoscoliosis deformity corrective surgery where IJV cannulation led to brachial plexus injury and was eventually recovered with medications and physiotherapy. Keywords: Scoliosis correction, Central-line insertion, Brachial plexus injury.

“…Moreover, a great advantage is that it can be performed at a self-determined time, and in a home-based environment, which could enhance adherence and resolve transportation and cost issues. There is mounting evidence that orthopedic technology-assisted rehabilitation has a positive impact on various clinical conditions [ 23 ], as well as in KOA [ 24 – 27 ]. More specifically, studies on subjects with KOA that have used a website or an electronic application, as a support, for teaching exercise have shown positive effects for increasing PA [ 24 – 30 ].…”

Due to the chronic nature of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) self-management is considered an essential part of therapy to improve physical function, activity, pain and quality of life (QoL). Web-based rehabilitation may be a potential innovative mode of patient’ training to guide management compared to usual care, especially with the current restrictions pandemic imposed. Moreover, in order to alter KOA patients’ behavior towards physical activity (PA), it may be more attractive and motivating to combine within their rehabilitation program, outdoor real life local activity that could feasible to be sustained in the future. Aim of the current study is to evaluate the effects of a blended web-based rehabilitation compared with structured PA alone in patients with KOA. This is a randomized multi-center study with two prospective arms. Fifty-six eligible participants with KOA will be recruited from the West Attica region (considered as structurally weak areas). After a comprehensive face-to face training session, participants will follow a 6-week web-based rehabilitation program, consisting of exercise, advice material enhanced outdoor structured PA. The control group will be encouraged to follow the outdoor structured PA alone. Baseline, 6-week and 12-week follow up assessments will be performed. The primary outcome is self-reported physical function as measured by the Knee Injury Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS). Secondary measures include pain, function (Timed Up and Go Test, Sit to Stand test), PA levels (Lower Extremity Activity Scale, Baecke Scale and pedometer), psychological perspective (Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia) and health-related QoL (Short-Form 12). Baseline-adjusted Analysis of Variance will be used to test for group differences in the primary and secondary outcomes. The study will evaluate the blended web-based exercise and advice material, enhanced with outdoor PA in many respects compared to the outdoor PA alone so as to promote self-management care programs for KOA patients. Trial registration: Prospectively registered ISRCTN12950684 (27-09-2020).
