Abstract: Background: Supervised remote sessions consisting of therapeutic exercises delivered via the internet can be an excellent supplement for patients who are unable to respect conventional outpatient rehabilitation after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction by increasing exposure and extending the duration of recovery practises. It can also assist in improving accessibility and collaboration between health professionals, as well as reducing the burden of face-to-face rehabilitation services. Objectives: Determine the feasibility of conducting a trial to evaluate the effectiveness of the Knee Care @Home programme for patients recovering from anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, including the acceptability of the intervention and to assign a qualitative evaluation within the trial to identify challenges with the implementation and delivery of the programme. Methods: This is a protocol for a randomised feasibility trial concurrent to controlled superiority trial. Adult participants following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction will be allocated to either the conventional outpatient rehabilitation group or the Knee Care @Home group. Only the latter will receive synchronous internet- based supervision of exercises at home in addition to conventional outpatient rehabilitation. Expected Results: Demonstrate the acceptability and feasibility of delivering the Knee Care @Home Programme in conjunction with conventional outpatient rehabilitation, thus offering health professionals a new rehabilitation methodology while proposing patients a mean to increase exposure and extend the duration of recovery practises, improve accessibility and supervision.2023-05-25T23:00:00ZEffectiveness of the Knee Care @Home Programme compared for patients following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a trial protocolAlegrete, JoanaBatalha, NunoFernandes, OrlandoParraça, JoséRodrigues, Ana MariaLondral, Ana RitaSousa, João Paulohttp://hdl.handle.net/10174/354402023-08-11T10:08:58Z2023-05-25T23:00:00ZTitle: Effectiveness of the Knee Care @Home Programme compared for patients following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a trial protocol

Abstract: Background: After anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, patients who are unable to remain completely compliant with conventional outpatient rehabilitation may benefit from remote sessions consisting of therapeutic exercises delivered via the internet. These sessions may increase accessibility in traditionally isolated and underserved regions, extend the duration of care, enhance surveillance and supervision, and promote greater collaboration among health professionals. Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of the Knee Care @Home programme in conjunction with conventional outpatient rehabilitation on patient-reported, clinician- reported, and physical functional performance outcome measures after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The trial also aims to determine the clinical relevance of changes in outcome measures. Methods: This is a protocol for a randomised controlled trial. Adults of both sexes will be evaluated. All participants who postoperatively meet the appropriate criteria will be allocated either to the conventional outpatient rehabilitation group or the knee care @home group. Only the latter will receive synchronous internet- based supervision of exercises at home in addition to conventional outpatient rehabilitation. A follow-up evaluation is conducted for both groups 12 weeks after the end of the intervention. Expected Results: Demonstrate the effectiveness of the knee care @home programme in conjunction with conventional outpatient rehabilitation on patient- reported, clinician-reported, and physical functional performance outcome measures after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, thus offering health and exercise professionals a new methodology for rehabilitation practise.2023-05-25T23:00:00ZInclusão em Tempos de MudançaCandeias, Adelindahttp://hdl.handle.net/10174/354332023-08-10T15:33:21Z2020-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Inclusão em Tempos de Mudança

Abstract: Background: Physiotherapy is one of the professions affected by the impact of technology on traditionally manual clinical practice tasks. The development of prototypes such as the WBAN (Wireless Body Area Network) exemplifies the application of technological advances in the field of rehabilitation. It is a sensor system for body-area network-based continuous health monitoring. This system communicates with computer-assisted physical rehabilitation and ambulatory monitoring applications. It is hypothesized that technological advancement studies will yield profound insights and actionable measures that will prepare the physiotherapy profession for the years to come. Objectives: Since an analysis of training realities in the Iberian Peninsula, we aim to understand how the professional training of physiotherapists is interpreted and adapted in response to the technological impact on clinical practice, identifying the needs for curricular adaptation of physiotherapy in relation to the technological development of physiotherapists' professional practice. Methods: This investigation will incorporate both quantitative and qualitative data. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the physiotherapy programmes on the Iberian Peninsula and the structure of technological implementation in the education of physiotherapists. Similarly, there will be a descriptive and analytic approach, obtaining pertinent information with analysis conducted in situ at HEIs - Higher Education Institutions with physiotherapy courses and a DELPHI process involving a panel of experts comprised of students, professors, and field researchers. Results: We identified approximately 77 physiotherapy programmes in Iberian Peninsula higher education institutions, 44 of which are public and 35 private. Five higher education institutions were receptive to the research approach where we were already present, analysing the introduction of rehabilitation technologies in the course curriculum, in the teaching structure of the clinical practise of physiotherapy, and in the positioning of professors and researchers in the field, as discussed in interviews and lectures held within the scope of this study. Conclusions: This research is still ongoing, but it is anticipated that the findings will clearly direct innovations in physiotherapy training regarding the skills and knowledge necessary for the correct use of rehabilitation technology in the clinical practise of future physiotherapists.2023-05-25T23:00:00Z
