Tele-Rehabilitation Intervention in Community-Based Healthcare for Patients With Osteoporosis (DHEAL-COM-OP)
Sponsor: Istituto Nazionale di Ricovero e Cura per Anziani
Summary
The DHEAL-COM-OP study is characterized as a feasibility study. The general objective is to evaluate the improvement in the physical performance of patients with osteoporosis detected through the Performance-Oriented Mobility Assessment (POMA) scale, following a rehabilitation intervention integrated with the BTS TELEREHAB technology.

Telerehabilitation
Patients will receive a personalised home tele-rehabilitation exercise program consisting of 3 sessions per week for a duration of 12 weeks. BTS TELEREHAB is a platform that allows the delivery of remote rehabilitation services. The patient is given the system to take home, where they will connect the small Brain PC, that is the computer unit of the BTS TELEREHAB solution, to their television. During motor rehabilitation sessions, the patient wears a special inertial sensor, the G-Sensor device, that measures movements in real-time, allowing the clinician to remotely monitor the correct execution of the exercises. In addition to the proposed therapeutic exercises, functional assessment tests are also included for patient follow-up. The presence of the inertial sensor supports the clinician in verifying the correct execution of the motor task and in the precise quantification of joint mobility.
Usual care
Participants will receive a booklet containing information and activities on well- being. They will be invited to do whatever they wish with the information booklet and the proposed exercises.
