Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Digital Health Technologies
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Telerehabilitation offers potential for patient-individualised and situation-specific adaptations to evidence-based recommendations.
  • Integrating digital medical devices (DMDs) into home-based settings may enhance adherence and clinical outcomes in rehabilitation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the implementation capacity and usage patterns of a digital medical device (DMD) in a multinational, home-based telerehabilitation setting.
  • To compare the adherence and effectiveness of DMD-assisted telerehabilitation against standard physiotherapy for patients with knee injuries.

Main Methods:

  • A registry-embedded hybrid design incorporating a multinational registry analysis (Part 1) and a prospective, single-blinded, multicentre intervention study (Part 2).
  • The digital medical device (DMD) integrated an inertial motion-sensor system with smartphone-based exercise instructions and functional tests.
  • Health care provider (HCP) usage patterns of the DMD were also assessed (Part 3).

Main Results:

  • Analysis of 10,311 measurements from 604 DMD users showed clinically expected rehabilitation progression post-knee injuries.
  • DMD users demonstrated significantly higher adherence (86%) compared to the control group (74%) (p<0.05) and performed exercises with greater intensity.
  • Health care providers utilized DMD data for clinical decision-making, with no adverse events reported.

Conclusions:

  • Novel, high-quality digital medical devices can increase adherence to standard therapy recommendations in telerehabilitation.
  • The DMD shows high potential for improving clinical rehabilitation outcomes, enabling effective, evidence-based telerehabilitation.
  • DMD-facilitated telerehabilitation provides valuable insights into stage-specific recovery through objective performance metrics.
