Telerehabilitation in the Post-COVID-19 Patient (TRIALS)
Telerehabilitation in the Post-COVID-19 Patient: the Italy-Switzerland Experience
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 7 Jun 2024
Brief summary (registry, in English)
A major issue brought about by the current pandemic concerns the discontinuation of a large proportion of outpatient services provided locally, especially in the rehabilitation field. Added to this situation is the ever-increasing demand for rehabilitation for post-COronaVIrus Disease 19 (COVID-19) patients. Data show that respiratory and motor rehabilitation for people infected with COVID-19 is necessary at all stages of the disease, even in the medium to long term after discharge from acute hospital care. Also to be taken into account are the logistical difficulties imposed by restrictions on the movement of individuals within the territory for both patients and caregivers, which are amplified in remote or poorly served areas, such as many cross-border territories. In this context, telerehabilitation can provide solutions to assist healthcare facilities in managing the demand for rehabilitation in the territory using a 'digital' therapist. The main objective of this project is therefore to identify the appropriate technology to administer the rehabilitation programme to patients and apply to a group of post-COVID-19 patients a customised respiratory and/or motor rehabilitation programme to be carried out directly at the patients' home after hospital discharge in order to evaluate its effects.
