Area of Science:

  • Physical Therapy
  • Digital Health
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Home exercise programs (HEPs) are crucial for patient recovery in physical therapy.
  • Digital platforms offer potential to enhance HEP delivery and patient adherence.
  • Medbridge's platform is a widely adopted tool for delivering HEPs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the utilization of Medbridge's home exercise program (HEP) platform features by physical therapists.
  • To identify factors influencing physical therapists' use of the Medbridge HEP platform.
  • To understand the impact of platform feature usage on patient engagement with HEPs.

Main Methods:

  • Convergent parallel mixed-method design integrating quantitative surveys, Medbridge user data, and qualitative interviews.
  • Surveys assessed physical therapists' experience, knowledge, confidence, and usability perceptions of the Medbridge HEP platform.
  • Medbridge data analyzed patient engagement and HEP delivery methods; interviews explored usage barriers.

Main Results:

  • Nearly all surveyed physical therapists (94.7%) prescribed HEPs using Medbridge and printed them for patients.
  • Key barriers to platform feature utilization included lack of knowledge, perceived inefficiency, and concerns about comprehensiveness and individualization.
  • Underutilization of platform features was noted, potentially impacting patient engagement.

Conclusions:

  • Medbridge's HEP platform features are underutilized by physical therapists.
  • Barriers such as lack of knowledge and perceived limitations in efficiency and customization hinder full adoption.
  • Enhancements focusing on efficiency, comprehensiveness, and individualization may boost therapist utilization and patient engagement.
