Abstract:
The purpose of this scoping review was to identify and summarize how technology can promote patient participation in the rehabilitation process in hip replacement. We conducted a scoping review following the steps outlined by the Joanna Briggs Institute. The PRISMA Checklist (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) was utilized to systematically organize the gathered information. A thorough search of articles was performed on PubMed, Scopus, and CINAHL databases for all publications up to December 2022. Twenty articles were included in this study. Various technologies, such as mobile applications, Web sites, and platforms, offer interactive approaches to facilitate total hip replacement rehabilitation. The analyzed studies were based on the rehabilitation of total hip arthroplasty, which in most of them was developed in mobile applications and Web sites. The studies identified reflect trends in the application of digital health technologies to promote patient engagement in the rehabilitation process and provide risk monitoring and patient education.
