“…3 Moreover, patient satisfaction rates and functional outcomes have been shown to be similar with telerehabilitation when compared with traditional inperson rehabilitation. 8,19,20 Benefits of telemedicine in physical therapy rehabilitation include decreased patient travel, lower coronavirus exposure risk, less wait time burden, and greater patient convenience, 14 all of which may lead to higher adherence rates. The majority of patients continued to use SSS during rehabilitation at 6 weeks postoperatively, indicating that the SSS device and protocols were tolerated by patients during the early postoperative period.…”

Background: Multiple rehabilitation protocols after shoulder surgery have been proposed. The coronavirus pandemic adds an extra layer of complexity to postoperative rehabilitation after shoulder surgery. Hypothesis: The combined use of a home-based rehabilitation system, the Shoulder Strengthening and Stabilization System (SSS), and telehealth visits will lead to acceptable patient self-reported outcomes and satisfaction after shoulder surgery. Study Design: Prospective observational cohort. Level of Evidence: Level 4. Methods: A total of 132 patients were prescribed SSS after shoulder surgery. A virtual clinical specialist monitored patients through telehealth visits as prescribed by the treating physician. Data were collected prospectively during each telehealth visit. Patients completed an exit survey during their last telehealth visit. Results: The use of SSS with telehealth revealed a positive impact on postoperative shoulder rehabilitation (96%), pain (71%), and stiffness (92%) as reported by patients. Both pain scores and pain medication use decreased from the 1st to 8th postoperative telehealth session ( P < 0.01). Nearly all (93%) patients recommended SSS after shoulder surgery upon completing the SSS protocol. Conclusion: Postoperative management of shoulder surgery with SSS combined with telehealth results in a reduction in patient pain levels in the early postoperative period. Patients reported high levels of improvement with SSS in shoulder rehabilitation, pain, and stiffness. The overwhelming majority (93%) of patients recommended SSS for postoperative shoulder rehabilitation and SSS yielded high patient satisfaction scores. Elucidating the impact of SSS on clinical outcomes and function in comparison with traditional rehabilitation protocols is warranted. Clinical Relevance: SSS in combination with telehealth was tolerated well by patients and may represent an alternative or adjunct to traditional rehabilitation protocols.

“…Their independent results clearly demonstrate a significant improvement in the measured outcomes. The use of TM as a therapeutic tool was also supported by Mamhoud IAM in his systematic review [24], which investigated the advantages and disadvantages of associating TM and PTRs. The paper shows that a combination between TM and PTR improves the cost-effectiveness of treatment and reduces the time needed for accessing the PTR in remote locations; in addition, this combination between TM and the PTR, avoiding direct contacts among people, may reduce the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection.…”

Introduction: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spread worldwide since December 2019, causing the COVID-19 pandemic. Several measures have taken place in many countries to avoid further spread of the virus and to manage infected people according to disease severity. Notably, telemedicine (TM) was successfully used to manage less severe patients. Our aim was to assess the impact and the edges of using TM in home-isolated or hospitalized patients affected by SARS-CoV-2 infection and its further application. Methods: We performed a systematic review according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, focusing on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in English and available on PubMed database. Full texts were blindly reviewed and then assessed according to PICO model. Results: Our research identified a total of 1,959 records, of which 24 were potentially eligible through the articles full-text review. Six papers were included for data extraction and 18 articles were excluded: 10 articles were not RCTs and 8 articles did not involve SARS-CoV-2 patients. The TM application showed an improvement in psychological stress, mental disorders, and a significant reduction of general stress in patients affected by SARS-CoV-2 infection. The effectiveness of using TM in rehabilitative respiratory programs has been also reported. Furthermore, the benefits of TM application in tailored monitoring of vital parameters in home-isolated patients helped clinicians to early identify a deterioration of clinical conditions. Conclusion: The use of TM during COVID-19 pandemic represented a novel, intriguing, versatile, and useful tool to support clinical practice. This evidence suggests considering TM in a wider range of clinical applications.

“…In the case of physical telerehabilitation, programs, and studies have focused on therapy sessions via videoconferencing where the physician instructs the patient on the exercises to be performed, or with computer programs with pre-recorded videos, avatars, or mobile applications. These programs show the exercises to be followed by the patient and which the patient must then record for follow-up (11,12,13,14). In the context of teleoperated physical rehabilitation, the studies found are mostly performed on the upper extremity (15,16,17,18) and a few on the lower extremity (19,20).…”

Las Instituciones de Atención de Salud en Colombia se encuentran distribuidas geográficamente de manera irregular. Las entidades que brindan servicios especializados, como rehabilitación física, se concentran en las principales ciudades. Aunque la cobertura del sistema de salud colombiano ha aumentado en los últimos años. Las barreras al acceso a los servicios de salud, como la vulnerabilidad geográfica y el costo del transporte a los centros de rehabilitación, siguen siendo un problema que se hace sentir en el país. Este proyecto presenta un sistema de control para teleoperación vía internet de una ayuda tecnológica para la rehabilitación física de la rodilla basado en el modelo de industria 4.0. Para esto se propone una metodología de diseño que integra varios recursos y herramientas de diversas áreas, incluyendo mecánica, electrónica y tecnologías de la información, como SysML, control distribuido, bases de datos y dispositivos de rehabilitación, entre otros. Como resultado se logra un prototipo funcional del sistema que permite evaluar técnicamente una infraestructura que permita a los pacientes realizar sus procedimientos sin desplazarse grandes distancias de su lugar de residencia. Además, la implementación del modelo Industria 4.0 nos permite tener una visión integral del sistema, facilitando la posterior escalabilidad del proyecto como la implementación de un programa de mantenimiento predictivo.
