Comparison of Telerehabilitation vs Clinical Setup Rehabilitation in TKR Patients

Comparison of Telerehabilitation vs Clinical Setup Rehabilitation in TKR Patients

This study examines the feasibility, attainability, and patient satisfaction of telerehabilitation and clinical consultation rehabilitation.

The objective is to assess whether telerehabilitation can provide comparable or significantly better outcomes in terms of functional recovery, pain management, improved range of motion, and patient satisfaction for Total Knee Replacement (TKR) patients. If telehealth interventions prove successful, they can be implemented to increase access to high-quality rehabilitation treatments and enhance healthcare delivery. Evidence-based findings from this study can help healthcare providers make educated decisions about incorporating telerehabilitation into post-operative rehabilitation protocols, thereby enhancing patient care and optimizing resource utilization in orthopedic settings.
