Details and patient eligibility

About

A proof of concept randomized controlled trial (RCT) only evaluated the National University of Singapore's (NUS) T-Rehab tele-rehabilitation (TR) system at a home setting where rehabilitation was provided on an individual level. The previous RCT was also limited to stroke patients. In addition to stroke, there are many other conditions (such as fractures, lower limb joint replacement, musculoskeletal conditions) require and benefit from rehabilitation. The primary aims of the pilot evaluation study are: (i) To document patient adherence to TR, compared to usual care (ii) To estimate the extent to which TR improves functional status, compared to usual care and (iii) To estimate the cost effectiveness of TR, compared to usual care in eight different health conditions in Singapore.
