This trial aims to compare the effectiveness of telerehabilitation with unsupervised home exercise for patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Single-centre, parallel-group randomized controlled trial
120 patients with knee OA randomized 1:1 to telerehabilitation or unsupervised exercise
Primary outcome: knee function improvement measured with WOMAC after 3 months.
Telerehabilitation group demonstrated statistically significant improvement in knee function compared to control after 3 months (specific metrics not provided).
Increased exercise adherence and patient satisfaction reported in telerehabilitation group versus control.
Secondary outcomes showed better pain management and health-related quality of life in telerehabilitation group.
