New Exercise Monitoring and Management Technologies in Post-Operative Orthopaedic Rehabilitation

Abstract

Appropriate application of exercise protocols during post-operative orthopedic rehabilitation is of great importance for the improvement of the patient's clinical condition. With the introduction of telerehabilitation services in recent years, it is possible for clinicians to monitor and manage the exercise protocols of their patients in a more practical, cost-effective and time-saving manner. Telerehabilitation is used in post-operative period for many pathological conditions, especially total knee arthroplasty, and its effectiveness is investigated by randomized controlled studies. In this review, exercise monitoring and management technologies in post-operative orthopedic rehabilitation process are discussed. Differences, similarities, advantages and disadvantages of these applications compared to conventional methods will be examined.

Post-operatif Ortopedik Rehabilitasyonda Yeni Egzersiz İzlem ve Yönetim Teknolojileri

Abstract

Post-operatif ortopedik rehabilitasyon sürecinde, egzersiz protokollerinin uygun şekilde gerçekleştirilmesi, hastanın klinik durumunda elde edilecek iyileşme açısından büyük önem taşımaktadır. Son yıllarda telerehabilitasyon hizmetlerinin yaygınlaşmasıyla birlikte, klinisyenlerin hastalarına ait egzersiz protokollerini izlem ve yönetimi daha pratik, maliyeti düşük ve zamandan tasarruf edilecek şekilde mümkün olabilmektedir. Total diz artroplastisi başta olmak üzere birçok patolojik durumda post-operatif dönemde telerehabilitasyonun kullanıldığı, randomize kontrollü çalışmalarla etkinliğinin araştırıldığı görülmektedir. Bu derlemede post-operatif ortopedik rehabilitasyon sürecinde egzersiz izlem ve yönetim teknolojileri ele alınmıştır. Bu uygulamaların konvansiyonel yöntemlere göre farkları, benzerlikleri, avantajları ve dezavantajları incelenecektir.
