We compared the effectiveness of home telerehabilitation with conventional rehabilitation following knee replacement surgery (total knee arthroplasty, TKA). [] Key Method Forty-eight patients (mean age 66 years) who received TKA were recruited prior to discharge from hospital after surgery and were randomly assigned to telerehabilitation or usual care.

Patient Satisfaction with In-Home Telerehabilitation After Total Knee Arthroplasty: Results from a Randomized Controlled Trial.
TLDR
These results, in conjunction with evidences of clinical effectiveness and cost benefits demonstrated in the same sample of patients, strongly support the use of telerehabilitation to improve access to rehabilitation services and efficiency of service delivery after TKA.
In-Home Telerehabilitation Compared with Face-to-Face Rehabilitation After Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Noninferiority Randomized Controlled Trial.
TLDR
The results demonstrated the noninferiority of in-home telerehabilitation and support its use as an effective alternative to face-to-face service delivery after hospital discharge of patients following a total knee arthroplasty.
The Effectiveness of Telerehabilitation as a Supplement to Rehabilitation in Patients After Total Knee or Hip Replacement: Randomized Controlled Trial
TLDR
The effect of the investigated telerehabilitation therapy in patients following knee or hip replacement was equivalent to the usual aftercare in terms of functional testing, quality of life, and pain.
Telerehabilitation is non-inferior to usual care following total hip replacement - a randomized controlled non-inferiority trial.
Clinical outcomes of remote asynchronous telerehabilitation are equivalent to traditional therapy following total knee arthroplasty: A randomized control study
TLDR
Clinical outcomes following asynchronous telerehabilitation administered over the web and through a hand-held device were not inferior to those achieved with traditional care and are clinically equivalent to the in-person care model.
Telerehabilitation Versus Traditional Care Following Total Hip Replacement: A Randomized Controlled Trial Protocol
TLDR
If shown to be as effective as in-person care, telerehabilitation after THR could be helpful in addressing access issues in this population and it may help reduce the cost of health care provision by enabling patients to take a more independent approach to their rehabilitation.
Effectiveness of an interactive telerehabilitation system with home-based exercise training in patients after total hip or knee replacement: study protocol for a multicenter, superiority, no-blinded randomized controlled trial
TLDR
The intervention group is expected to benefit from the interactive, home-based exercise training in many respects represented by the study endpoints, and this approach could be used to enhance the access to aftercare programs, especially in structurally weak areas.
Effects of Virtual Exercise Rehabilitation In-Home Therapy Compared with Traditional Care After Total Knee Arthroplasty: VERITAS, a Randomized Controlled Trial.
BACKGROUND Financial burden for patients, providers, and payers can reduce access to physical therapy (PT) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of the present study was to examine the…
The role of prehabilitation with a telerehabilitation system prior to total knee arthroplasty.
TLDR
Prehabilitation preceding TKA in the current study showed early benefits in LOS and discharge disposition, which will help expand the current literature and educate orthopaedic surgeons on a novel technology.

TLDR
A low-bandwidth telemedicine system to enable rehabilitation services to be delivered directly to the home of patients in rural and remote areas is developed and found to be effective, safe and easy to use.

TLDR
This study investigates the effectiveness of providing in-home telerehabilitation services as an alternative to home care visits for physical therapy in orthopedic conditions following discharge from an acute care hospital and rehabilitation unit.
Using telerehabilitation to promote TBI recovery and transfer of knowledge.
TLDR
Evidence is presented that teletherapy represents an effective and efficient means for providing rehabilitation services for patients in rural communities, as well as for facilitating mentoring relationships between seasoned professionals and trainees located in rural settings.

A Cost-Minimization Analysis of Orthopaedic Consultations Using Videoconferencing in Comparison with Conventional Consulting
TLDR
The study showed that orthopaedic outpatient telecare can be cost minimizing even at relatively short distances and showed that telemedicine was less costly for society than conventional care at a workload of more than 80 patients per year.

TLDR
The 15 years of physical rehabilitation outreach service data is valuable for planning new outreach programs, benchmarking existing services, and telerehabilitation comparisons.
