Effectiveness of a telerehabilitation tablet app in combination with face-to-face physiotherapy for people with wrist, hand or finger injuries: a pragmatic multicentre clinical trial

Objective: To evaluate whether, in patients with trauma and soft tissue injuries of the wrist, hand and/or fingers, an exercise program performed on a touchscreen tablet-based app reduces the consumption of face-to-face resources and improves clinical recovery, compared to a conventional home exerci...

Design: Pragmatic, multicentre, parallel, two-group, controlled clinical trial with blinded assessor. Participants and setting: Eighty-one patients with traumatic bone and/or soft tissue injuries of the hand, wrist and/or fingers recruited in four hospitals of the Andalusian Public Health System. Interventions: The experimental group received a home exercise program using a touchscreen tablet application and the control group received a home exercise program on paper. Both groups received the same treatment of face-to-face physiotherapy. Primary outcome: Number of physiotherapy sessions. Secondary outcomes were the duration of physiotherapy and clinical variables such as functional ability, grip strength, pain and manual dexterity. Results: The experimental group required fewer physiotherapy sessions (MD -11,5 sessions; 95% CI -21.4 to -1.4), showed a shorter duration of physiotherapy (MD -3.8 weeks, 95% CI -7 to -1) and had better recovery of grip strength, pain and dexterity compared to the control group. Conclusions: In patients with trauma and soft tissue injuries of the wrist, hand and/or fingers, an exercise program performed on a touchscreen tablet-based app in combination with face-to-face physiotherapy reduces the consumption of face-to-face resources and improves clinical recovery, compared to conventional home exercise program prescribed on paper.SAGE PublicationsFisioterapiaHospital Universitario Virgen Macarena2023info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/submittedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/11441/162325https://doi.org/10.1177/1357633X231172245reponame:idUS.
