Determining the Prioritization of Behavior Change Techniques for Long-Term Stroke Rehabilitation: Delphi Survey Study

Determining the Prioritization of Behavior Change Techniques for Long-Term Stroke Rehabilitation: Delphi Survey Study

Together, these challenges reveal a critical disconnect between current stroke rehabilitation interventions and more general guidance on BCT use [13]. Thus, this work focuses on resolving this disconnect by examining how BCTs should be prioritized for stroke rehabilitation with a multifaceted approach that distinguishes between motor rehabilitation (“general rehabilitation” in our terms) and psychosocial rehabilitation (addressed separately as “behavioral,” “cognitive,” and “emotional” aspects).

Effect of Home-Based Virtual Reality Training on Upper Extremity Recovery in Patients With Stroke: Systematic Review

Effect of Home-Based Virtual Reality Training on Upper Extremity Recovery in Patients With Stroke: Systematic Review

In recent years, home-based VR training has emerged as a potential alternative for rehabilitation in patients with stroke [7,8]. VR technology enables patients to perform repetitive, task-specific movements in an engaging, interactive environment, potentially enhancing motor recovery, and improving adherence to rehabilitation protocols [9]. VR technology has garnered significant attention for its potential to enhance rehabilitation outcomes across various treatment environments.

Medical Device Based on a Virtual Reality–Based Upper Limb Rehabilitation Software: Usability Evaluation Through Cognitive Walkthrough

Medical Device Based on a Virtual Reality–Based Upper Limb Rehabilitation Software: Usability Evaluation Through Cognitive Walkthrough

Upper limb rehabilitation plays a critical role in restoring functional abilities in individuals with stroke or neurological injuries, enhancing their independence and autonomy [1,2]. Virtual reality (VR) technology has emerged as a promising tool in rehabilitation therapy, offering immersive and interactive features that can improve patient engagement and therapeutic outcomes [3-5].

Balancing Challenges and Opportunities When Evaluating Remote Rehabilitation for Sarcopenia in Older Adults

Balancing Challenges and Opportunities When Evaluating Remote Rehabilitation for Sarcopenia in Older Adults

Dear Editor: We are writing to share our thoughts on the article “A 4-Week Mobile App–Based Telerehabilitation Program vs Conventional In-Person Rehabilitation in Older Adults With Sarcopenia: Randomized Controlled Trial” [1] published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research. This research presents a significant exploration into the rehabilitation of older adults with sarcopenia, comparing a mobile app–based telerehabilitation approach with traditional in-person rehabilitation.

Home-Based Nonimmersive Virtual Reality Training After Discharge From Inpatient or Outpatient Stroke Rehabilitation: Parallel  Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

Home-Based Nonimmersive Virtual Reality Training After Discharge From Inpatient or Outpatient Stroke Rehabilitation: Parallel Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

Rehabilitation is essential to maximize recovery after stroke [3]. Substantial evidence suggests that greater benefit is obtained by providing a greater intensity of rehabilitation [4]. Unfortunately, many patients complete their formal rehabilitation before recovery is complete [5]. When a patient is discharged home, maintaining a regimen of therapeutic exercise until recovery has plateaued is essential.

Effect of Clinic-Based and Asynchronous Video-Based Exercise on Clinic and Psychosocial Outcomes in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis: Quasi-Experimental Study

Effect of Clinic-Based and Asynchronous Video-Based Exercise on Clinic and Psychosocial Outcomes in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis: Quasi-Experimental Study

Few studies emanating from West Africa explored digital rehabilitation for knee osteoarthritis. Odole and Ojo [28] implemented an in-home intervention of standardized exercise programs for patients with knee osteoarthritis, and adherence was monitored using telephone calls. The authors found that in-home telerehabilitation was comparable with clinic-based treatment in terms of improved Qo L.

Poststroke eHealth Technologies–Based Rehabilitation for Upper Limb Recovery: Systematic Review

Poststroke eHealth Technologies–Based Rehabilitation for Upper Limb Recovery: Systematic Review

Home rehabilitation is a good option to continue recovery from chronic diseases such as stroke and a good alternative to manage long-term rehabilitation problems. Therefore, home rehabilitation is necessary to provide such a large amount of training [13] because traditional rehabilitation programs do not usually comply with all the abovementioned requisites.

Feasibility of a Comprehensive eCoach to Support Patients Undergoing Colorectal Surgery: Longitudinal Observational Study

Feasibility of a Comprehensive eCoach to Support Patients Undergoing Colorectal Surgery: Longitudinal Observational Study

Figure 1 illustrates the perioperative care pathway and the integration of the e Coach into this process, including the phases of prehabilitation, surgery, remote postoperative monitoring, and rehabilitation. The e Coach provided tailored information and action prompts specific to each phase. Automated alerts were configured and managed by specialized virtual care nurses at the Isala Virtual Care Center. If required actions were not completed, an automated reminder was sent in the evening.

Digital Therapeutics–Based Cardio-Oncology Rehabilitation for Lung Cancer Survivors: Randomized Controlled Trial

Digital Therapeutics–Based Cardio-Oncology Rehabilitation for Lung Cancer Survivors: Randomized Controlled Trial

Cardiac rehabilitation in China has rapidly expanded with multilevel hospitals gradually offering rehabilitation services. However, the significant investment in terms of manpower, equipment, and facilities, as well as time costs and transportation limitations, have constrained the participation rate, completion rate, and economic efficiency of CBCR. The scarcity of specialized cardiac rehabilitation personnel is a primary factor contributing to low adherence in overpopulated countries like China [26].
