Telerehabilitation Approach on Individuals with Hand-Affected Scleroderma
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a heterogeneous autoimmune disease characterized by fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Hand involvement is one of the most observed musculoskeletal involvements in patients with SSc, which can impact on general health, quality of life, and psychological status. Hand exercise programs can help patients to improve not only hand function but also general health status; nevertheless, further randomized control trials (RCTs) are needed to clarify its effect. Hence, the investigators aimed to investigate the effectiveness of home-based, self-administered exercise program for hands in patients with SSc and demonstrate the improvements in general health status.
Participants with rheumatoid arthritis with recommendation to physiotherapy. Created 3 study groups: 1. Only kinesiotherapy 2. Kinesiotherapy with unipolar magnetic field 3. Kinesiotherapy with bipolar magnetic field Kinesiotherapy with magnetic field give better effects than only kinesiotherapy.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of physiotherapy and rehabilitation program on hand involvement of patients with scleroderma and to compare the effects of home rehabilitation program and rehabilitation program under physiotherapist supervision. At the end of the study, the rehabilitation program under the supervision of physiotherapist and home exercise program will be compared with the effects of these applications on range of motion, grip strength, function and sensation. Since there are a limited number of randomized controlled studies in the literature on this subject and there is no randomized controlled clinical study on the superiority of physiotherapist supervision and home program, it will contribute to the information regarding the rehabilitation of scleroderma patients.
