Background: Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is an interdisciplinary intervention designed to improve the physical status and the psychological condition of people with chronic respiratory diseases. To improve patients' participation in PR programs, telerehabilitation has been introduced.
Objective: This study aimed to identify factors that could influence the intention to use telerehabilitation among patients attending traditional PR programs.
Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited subjects attending the PR centers in the hospitals of the Indiana State University, United States of America, between January and May 2017. Data were collected using self-administered Tele-Pulmonary Rehabilitation Acceptance Scale (TPRAS). TPRAS had two subscales: perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. Behavioral intention (BI) was the dependent variable, and all responses were dichotomized into positive and negative intention to use. Multiple logistic regressions were performed to assess the influence of variables on the intention to use telerehabilitation.
Results: A total of 134 respondents were included in this study, of which 61.2% indicated positive intention to use telerehabilitation. Perceived usefulness was a significant predictor of the positive intentions to use of telerehabilitation. Duration of respiratory disease was negatively associated with the use of telerehabilitation.
Conclusion: Perceived usefulness was a significant predictor of using telerehabilitation. The findings of this study may be useful for health-care organizations in improving the adoption of telerehabilitation or in its implementation. Future telerehabilitation acceptance studies could explore the effects of additional factors including computer literacy and culture on the intention to use telerehabilitation.

CO-CREATION-HF protocol: clinical trial to evaluate the impact of a comprehensive and hybrid cardiac rehabilitation model on patients with heart failure.
Front Cardiovasc Med
November 2024
Faculty of Health, York University, Toronto, ON, Canada.
Introduction: Comprehensive, hybrid cardiac rehabilitation (CR) models have been scantly investigated in heart failure (HF) populations, particularly in low-resource settings. CO-CREATION-HF aims to evaluate the effectiveness of such a model compared to supervised exercise alone.
Methods And Analysis: A 2 parallel-arm, multi-center randomized clinical superiority trial will be conducted with blinded outcome assessment.
A Tai chi and qigong mind-body program for low back pain: A virtually delivered randomized control trial.

Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the effectiveness of a virtually delivered mind-body program called VDTQM, which combines tai chi, qigong, and meditation, in treating low back pain (LBP) among adults.
- The study involved 350 participants, who were divided into a treatment group receiving 12 weeks of VDTQM classes and a waitlist control group, with outcomes measured primarily by pain-related disability and secondary factors like pain intensity and quality of life.
- Results indicated that the treatment group experienced significant improvements in pain-related disability and other outcomes at various points after treatment, suggesting that VDTQM could be a beneficial option for managing LBP.
Non-inferiority of hybrid outpatient telerehabilitation for patients with back pain: 3-month follow-up of a randomized controlled trial.
Eur J Phys Rehabil Med
December 2024
University of Lübeck, Institute of Social Medicine and Epidemiology, Lübeck, Germany.
Background: International studies identified comparable or better effects for telerehabilitation compared with face-to-face rehabilitation or no rehabilitation in people with back pain. In German rehabilitation centers, a standardized back school for patients with back pain is provided usually face-to-face as part of a multimodal rehabilitation program.
Aim: To examine the non-inferiority of a three-week, digitally assisted, multimodal rehabilitation that applies a digital version of a standardized back school (intervention group [IG]) against the same rehabilitation program applying the back school face-to-face (control group [CG]).

Faculty of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation, Hacettepe University, Ankara.
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of clinic-based and telerehabilitation-based motor control exercises in individuals with chronic low-back pain 3 months posttreatment.
Methods: Forty-two participants were randomized to either clinic-based or telerehabilitation-based groups, performing exercises 3 times weekly for 8 weeks. Assessments were conducted pre-intervention, postintervention and 1 and 3 month follow-ups.
Allied rehabilitation using caregiver-mediated exercises combined with telerehabilitation for stroke (ARMed4Stroke): A randomised controlled trial.

Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Amsterdam University Medical Center, VUmc, Amsterdam Movement Sciences, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of caregiver-mediated exercises combined with telerehabilitation compared to usual care in improving self-reported mobility after a subacute stroke.
- A total of 41 patient-caregiver pairs participated in an 8-week program involving mobility exercises, with results showing no significant difference in mobility outcomes between the intervention and control groups.
- However, secondary outcomes indicated benefits for caregivers, including improvements in their quality of life and reduced depression, suggesting that while mobility did not improve, caregiver support may enhance their well-being.
