This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to quantitatively compare the effects of telerehabilitation and home-based exercise for shoulder disorders.
Data Sources: We conducted a search for eligible studies in PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and MEDLINE databases following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analyses guidelines.
Study Selection: Independent reviewers selected randomized controlled trials that compared the effects of telerehabilitation and home-based exercise in individuals with shoulder disorders.
Data Extraction: Two reviewers independently conducted data extraction and assessed the risk of bias using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool.
Data Synthesis:
Telerehabilitation is more effective than home-based exercise in improving range of motion, functional outcomes, and quality of life for patients with shoulder disorders. Telerehabilitation significantly outperforms home-based exercise in relieving pain when continued for over 12 weeks.
