Internet Enhanced, Patient-Centered Orthopedic Care: A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Pilot Trial
31. Dezember 2013 aktualisiert von: Jonathan Paul, MD, Charlotte Sports Medicine Institute, PA
Phase I Study Comparing Internet Delivered Home Exercise Programs to Standard Orthopedic Care and Outpatient Physical Therapy.
The investigators have previously reported on patient utilization of an eRehab patient education web portal that utilizes streaming, clinician prescribed video instruction to motivate and inform patients in self-care of their orthopedic condition, focusing on the importance of a home exercise program.
The greatest barrier to patient use of this web-based home exercise treatment plan was the initial access to the program.
The purpose of this study is to compare an Internet-based patient education rehab portal (eRehab) to formal physical therapy (PT) in terms of patient costs and outcomes.

Detaillierte Beschreibung
This is a prospective, randomized, controlled pilot study.
Twenty-four patients who were candidates for a knee or shoulder orthopedic outpatient physical therapy referral were randomized to a 6-week treatment course of either PT or eRehab.
Patients were evaluated for outcome scores (KOOS or DASH), pain NRS-11 scores, patient subjective outcomes and cost of treatment.

Waffen und Interventionen
Teilnehmergruppe / Arm |
Intervention / Behandlung |
|---|---|
|
Aktiver Komparator: Physical Therapy
This arm will receive the standard of care for orthopedic patients receiving a diagnosis and then a recommendation for outpatient physical therapy referral.
They will follow through on the referral and attend physical therapy.
|
This intervention involves referral to a licensed physical therapist or supervised ATC-L.
|
|
Experimental: eRehab
This group will not go to formal therapy but receive Internet delivered patient education and exercise instruction.
This group will then perform those exercises at home.
|
Growth in e-Health applications, defined as any computer or Internet application integrated into health services, has resulted in the development of treatment strategies to improve healthcare while reducing costs.
The utilization of e-Health to provide a rehabilitative intervention has recently been identified in the cardiac literature as "e-rehabilitation" or "eRehab."
This study specifically compares an orthopedic eRehab Internet application to standard outpatient physical therapy as an adjunct in the treatment of non-complicated knee and shoulder disorders.
