Tele-reha Versus Paper-based Aftercare Programme Following Inpatient Rehabilitation

Sponsor: Medical University of Vienna

Summary

The goal of this three-armed, observer-blinded, randomised controlled trial is to (i) to implement a telerehabilitation intervention in routine care after an inpatient rehabilitation stay for people insured with the Social Insurance Institution for the Self-Employed (SVS), (ii) to evaluate the impact of telerehabilitation on the consolidation of goals achieved during the inpatient stay in everyday life, and (iii) to evaluate whether independence in everyday life can be increased by implementing telerehabilitation at home compared to standard care. Our hypothesis is that the tele-reha intervention, including ongoing therapist support, will improve independence in daily living (defined as the primary outcome of this study), as measured by the Functional Assessment Measure (FAM), compared to a control group receiving a standard paper-based program.
