Adherence and Feasibility of Remote Rehabilitation for Chronic Patellofemoral Joint Pain: a Randomized Controlled Trial
Sponsor: Peking University Third Hospital
Summary
This study is a prospective, single-center trial involving 66 patients diagnosed with patellofemoral pain. The study adhered to ethical guidelines and obtained informed consent from all participants. Participants were randomly assigned to receive face-to-face remote rehabilitation guidance either 1 time, 3 times, or 6 times. The primary outcome measure was exercise adherence assessed using the Exercise Rating Scale (EARS) after 6 weeks of rehabilitation. Secondary outcomes included knee pain severity, muscle strength, knee function, fatigue levels, and a qualitative research questionnaire. An isokinetic strength testing system was used to measure the open-chain strength of the quadriceps muscle.

one session of face-to-face telerehabilitation tutorial (OST)
The first group participated in a face-to-face tele-rehabilitation session in the hospital on the use of sensors and rehabilitation software before the home-rehabilitation session. Thereafter, the tele-rehabilitation program included muscle strengthening, flexibility stretching, and movement quality training every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
Three session of face-to-face telerehabilitation tutorials (TST)
The second group participated in three face-to-face tele-rehabilitation sessions in the hospital on the use of sensors and rehabilitation software before the home-rehabilitation session. Thereafter, the tele-rehabilitation program included muscle strengthening, flexibility stretching, and movement quality training every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
Six session of face-to-face telerehabilitation tutorials (SST)
The third group participated in six face-to-face tele-rehabilitation sessions in the hospital on the use of sensors and rehabilitation software before the home-rehabilitation session.
