Tele-rehabilitation (TR) which carries health services distant through using electronic communication systems is an important treatment option. Although TR studies in musculoskeletal system, neurologic and cardio-pulmonary diseases are effective TR studies in type 2 DM patients are limited. TR interventions in patients with type 2 diabetes has not yet sufficiently defined and more studies with different exercise protocols will be an important step for the clinical value of this intervention but also for it's application in clinical practice. Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a telerehabilitation program on glucose control, functional capacity, muscle strength and quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes. Study design: It is a supervised-double blind randomized controlled trial, comparing two groups (a control group and a telerehabilitation group). The duration of the intervention will last 6 weeks. Setting: home-based patients environments , only the first session in University of Thessaly for educational reason Participants: A total of 22 patients with type 2 diabetes, regardless sex, aged 40 years and older will randomly assign to a telerehabilitation group (n = 11) and a control group (n = 11). Measurements /Assessments Study data will be collected at baseline and after the intervention period ( 6 weeks) by two blinded physiotherapists, in University of Thessaly).
Postpartum is a transitional period in which physical, social and emotional changes take place in the women. Especially the difficulty of psychological and physiological changes can be associated with deterioration in the women's health. Exercise support programs given to postpartum women have been shown to contribute to physical, mental and social well-being. Statistically significant improvements were found in depression and anxiety symptoms, energy and fatigue parameters, and general health regarding the effects of exercise on mental health in pregnant and postpartum women. The recommendation of the American Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) is that women start physical activity as soon as they are medically or obstetrically safe. It is stated that they can be included in the exercise programs as soon as possible if it is a normal delivery, and after the 6th week, except for certain exercises if it is a cesarean section. Literature mentioned that exercise studies with postpartum women are insufficient. These mostly focused on the postpartum period and women who had a cesarean section were excluded. In their studies comparing the clinical and virtual environment; Although there is no statistical difference, there are studies showing that it is superior. To the best knowledge, there were no studies on postpartum telerehabilitation. Literature with a multidimensional approach in line with the recommendations of the guidelines were also limited.
The evolution of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic makes it more necessary the intervention of Primary Health Care Physiotherapy Units in patients with respiratory and/or functional sequelae after suffering from SARS-CoV-2 (acute respiratory sindrome by coronavirus) virus infection. Since some months ago, Primary Health Care use telerehabilitation tools to connect patients and health care professions while maintaining social distancing and restrictions. Tele-physiotherapy is a field of physiotherapy which has the advantage of providing physical therapy interventions to patients' complications after COVID-19 by using a videoconferencing method. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a multimodal Physical Therapy telerehabilitation program in persistent post COVID-19 symptoms in Primary Health Care.
This study was carried out in the post-acute period of the telerehabilitation program in individuals with dyspnea who had COVID-19; It will be done to examine the effects on dyspnea, exercise capacity, respiratory functions, activities of daily living, muscle strength, muscle oxygenation, fatigue and quality of life parameters.
The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility of a novel motor-cognitive home training intervention using eHealth technology among people with Parkinson's Disease
Investigating the role of shared-decision making in cardiac rehabilitation
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy, efficiency and cost - effectiveness of a cardiac telerehabilitation program using wearable sensors Design: Supervised single-blinded randomized controlled trial, comparing three groups, with follow-ups at baseline, 12 weeks (completion of the intervention), 6 months after the completion of the intervention Setting: cardiac rehabilitation centres, patients home environments Participants: A total of 102 cardiac patients, regardless sex, aged 18 years and older were randomly assigned to a telerehabilitation group (n = 34), a centre - based cardiac rehabilitation group(n=34) and a usual care control group (n = 34). Interventions: Exercise - based cardiac rehabilitation program for the intervention groups (both in cardiac clinics' settings and in patients' homes) consisted of three sessions each week for 12 consecutive weeks. The control group received no exercise intervention. Measurements: Main outcome was measured by Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing. Secondary outcomes were measured by accelerometry and the use of proper questionnaires.
Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome characterized by inefficient myocardial pumping with signs of pulmonary and systemic congestion. Its progressively deteriorating trajectory punctuated by episodes of acute disease decompensation, not only compromises patients' health-related quality of life (HRQL), but also causes a hospitalization epidemic. Indeed, this clinical cohort is characterized by exceptionally high readmission rate of 25% and 50% within 4 weeks and 6 months, respectively, with ineffective self-care being as the most prominent modifiable risk factor. Effective transitional care is crucial to enhance the patient outcomes and control the economic impact. However, the concerned service in Hong Kong is rather under-developed due to the human resource burden and inadequate integration of the primary and tertiary healthcare systems. In fact, family support is of utmost important to support the HF patients in the post-discharge period. Together with the advance in E-health intervention, this study aims to evaluate the effects and cost-effectiveness of a technology-based family-centered empowerment program (T-FAME) to enhance the self-care and post-discharge outcomes of this clinical cohort.
It is aimed to investigate the effects of telerehabilitation-based structured exercise on muscle strength, balance, performance, body image, prosthesis adaptation, activity limitation, prosthesis use satisfaction, and quality of life in individuals with unilateral below-knee amputation. Study hypothesis: In individuals with transtibial amputation, telerehabilitation-based structured exercise has an effect on muscle strength, balance, performance, body image, prosthesis adaptation, activity limitation, prosthesis use satisfaction, and quality of life. Forty individuals with a unilateral transtibial amputation will be included in the study. Participants will be divided into two groups as telerehabilitation and control groups with equal sample sizes by the randomization method. All participants will undergo a 6-week exercise program. A structured exercise program supported by telerehabilitation will be applied to the telerehabilitation group 3 days a week, and a home exercise program will be applied on the remaining days of the week. An only a home exercise program will be applied to the control group. Participants will be evaluated at the beginning and end of the study.
