Advancements in modern medicine have bolstered the usage of home-based rehabilitation services for patients, particularly those recovering from diseases or conditions that necessitate a structured rehabilitation process. Understanding the technological factors that can influence the efficacy of home-based rehabilitation is crucial for optimizing patient outcomes. As technologies continue to evolve rapidly, it is imperative to document the current state of the art and elucidate the key features of the hardware and software employed in these rehabilitation systems. This narrative review aims to provide a summary of the modern technological trends and advancements in home-based shoulder rehabilitation scenarios. It specifically focuses on wearable devices, robots, exoskeletons, machine learning, virtual and augmented reality, and serious games. Through an in-depth analysis of existing literature and research, this review presents the state of the art in home-based rehabilitation systems, highlighting their strengths and limitations. Furthermore, this review proposes hypotheses and potential directions for future upgrades and enhancements in these technologies. By exploring the integration of these technologies into home-based rehabilitation, this review aims to shed light on the current landscape and offer insights into the future possibilities for improving patient outcomes and optimizing the effectiveness of home-based rehabilitation programs.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading global cause of morbidity and mortality, necessitating comprehensive approaches for its management. This systematic review evaluates the long-term impact of structured lifestyle intervention programs on cardiac event-free survival in patients with established CAD. A total of eight studies, including randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and prospective cohort studies, were analyzed, encompassing diverse interventions such as cardiac rehabilitation, dietary modifications, exercise programs, and psychosocial support.

Background: This qualitative evaluation was embedded in the Rehabilitation Exercise and psycholoGical support After COVID-19 InfectioN (REGAIN) study, a randomised controlled trial (RCT) for those with post-COVID-19 condition ('long COVID') after hospital admission for COVID-19, comparing weekly home-based, live online supervised group exercise and psychological support sessions with 'best practice usual care' (a single session of advice).

Objective: To increase our understanding of how and why the REGAIN programme might have worked and what helped or hindered this intervention.

Design: A qualitative evaluation which utilised interviews with participants and practitioners delivering the intervention.
