Background: Introducing home-based telerehabilitation (TR) approaches helps clinical experts to choose appropriate and effective interventions and researchers identify knowledge gaps to design clinical trial studies and systematic reviews.
Purpose: This study aimed to review the knowledge of home-based TR in multiple sclerosis.
Method: This scoping review study was conducted based on Arksey and O'Malley's five-step approach. The Embase, PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Sciences, Scopus and ProQuest databases were searched in 2017-2024 to find full-text English-language articles.
Findings: In 25 studies reviewed, various and extensive home-based interventions have been used in physical and cognitive aspects.
Conclusion: Home-based rehabilitation is applicable, useful, safe and affordable, maintains the continuity of the rehabilitation process and increases patients' adherence to the rehabilitation programme. However, there are challenges such as patients' lack of familiarity with technology and limitations of outcome measurement tools that should be addressed in future studies.

Background: Obesity is a known risk factor and aggravator of musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions. The rising prevalence of obesity calls for scalable solutions to address MSK conditions in this population, given their complex clinical profile and barriers to accessing care.
Purpose: To evaluate the engagement and clinical outcomes of a fully remote digital care program in patients with MSK conditions, focusing on those with and without comorbid obesity.

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease characterized by balance and gait impairment, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and diminished quality of life. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has emerged as an effective intervention for managing these symptoms.
Objective: This study aims to investigate the efficacy of remotely supervised tDCS (RS-tDCS) applied to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, in conjunction with a telerehabilitation (TR) program, on motor (balance and gait), cognitive (executive functions), and participation outcomes (fatigue, anxiety, depression, and quality of life) in persons with MS (pwMS).
