About this study

Official title: The Effects of Telerehabilitation on Upper Extremity Functions and Activities of Daily Living in Chronic Hemiplegic Patients

The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of telerehabilitation on upper extremity functions and activities of daily living in chronic hemiplegic patients.

Read the detailed description

A total of 40 chronic hemiplegic subjects were included in the study. The patients were divided into 2 groups by simple randomization method. As the Telerehabilitation Group (TR), Group 1 completed the treatment program, which included upper extremity and lower extremity strengthening exercises, for eight weeks, three days a week for 45-60 minutes, 10 repetitions, with online supervision. Group 2 was planned as a face-to-face training group and the same exercises were performed in the clinical setting, accompanied by a physiotherapist. The evaluations were made before and after the treatment. The Modified Ashworth Scale was used for upper extremity spasticity evaluation. The Wolf Motor Function Test was used to evaluate upper extremity functionality. The Barthel ADL Index was used to evaluate Activities of Daily Living (ADL). The Brunnstrom Staging Survey was used to evaluate the level of motor recovery. The Treatment Satisfaction Inquiry Survey was used to evaluate the satisfaction of the patients with the treatment method. Heart Rate (HR) values and oxygen saturation (SaO2) were measured with Pulse Oximetry to monitor vital signs.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Tele rehabilitation GroupBehavioural

    It has been determined that the telerehabilitation method applied in chronic hemiplegic patients increases daily living activities, upper extremity functionality, and spasticity levels decrease.
