A vast majority (75-85%) of ankle sprain patients treated in emergency departments (ED) receive pain medication and are not referred for physical rehabilitation. Therefore, purpose of this study is to increase access to the standard of care for an ankle sprain by provide patients with physical rehabilitation delivered through telehealth. The purpose of this study includes compare a 2-week telehealth intervention to the usual care for treating 1) subjective function; 2) physical impairments; 3) medication consumption; and 4) patient-perceived barriers. The central hypothesis is participants receiving the 2-week telehealth intervention will 1) have less pain and disability; 2) improve balance and ankle range of motion; 3) consume less medication; and 4) reports positive feedback compared to the usual care group.

The investigators will conduct a prospective, randomized, clinical trial addressing key questions to understanding the effectiveness of telerehabilitation (physical therapy delivered via video-visits) and in-clinic physical therapy for patients with chronic low back pain (LBP). The investigators also seek to understand how patients engage with both care options and how these treatment options influence other LBP-related healthcare utilization. The investigators will explore implementation outcomes using a mixed methods approach consisting of electronic surveys and semi-structured interviews with patients, physical therapists, practice managers, and outpatient services administration focusing on perceived quality and impact on barriers to care. The investigators will enroll 1000 patients with chronic LBP seeking outpatient care at the healthcare systems in Maryland (Johns Hopkins Medicine (JHM)) and Utah (University of Utah (UU) and Intermountain Healthcare (IHC)). Eligible patients will provide informed consent and be randomized to receive telerehabilitation or in-clinic physical therapy delivered by a trained physical therapist. Primary effectiveness outcome is the difference in change in LBP-related disability (Oswestry Disability Index) after 8 weeks of treatment.

Physical therapy is the first line of treatment for patients with low back pain (LBP) and has been shown to be a cost-effective method for improving pain and disability in patients with chronic LBP; however, despite this effectiveness, only 7-13% of patients go on to receive physical therapy services with patients in rural communities being especially limited to do lack of provider availability, transportation, and missed work time leading to greater rates of LBP-related disability and opioid consumption. With the rapid emergence of digital treatment approaches to physical therapy (i.e., telerehabilitation), access could be improved by reducing or eliminating many barriers that patients report; however, it is unclear how to appropriately incorporate digital treatment approaches into existing health care models. The investigators propose a prospective randomized clinical trial conducted at a health system serving rural communities to determine the effectiveness of innovative risk-informed telerehabilitation versus standard educational control for patients with chronic LBP that will match individual patients with specific physical therapy delivery (physical therapy telehealth visits or psychologically informed physical therapy telehealth visits) based on the patient's psychosocial risk of poor outcomes.

Telerehabilitation for CNS Injuries

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the safety and feasibility of providing extra doses of rehabilitation therapy for persons with a recent stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI) and/or spinal cord injury (SCI). The therapy treatment targets to improve arm function by introducing telerehabilitation to the bedside of participants during the inpatient rehab admission period. Participants will use a newly developed functional training system (HandyMotion) to access therapy treatment program directly from their hospital room. HandyMotion is a sensor-based training system that can connect to the TV set in the hospital room, enabling patients to access their therapy training program to practice rehab-oriented games and exercises ad libitum, at any time of the day.

Home-based CR (HBCR) is an alternative to traditional CR programs that has comparable efficacy in improving morbidity/mortality and increases access to critical services. There is major potential to improve Veteran engagement in CR by combining digital coaching (d-Coaching) with existing VA-supported technologies. The investigator's theory-based intervention targets a critical component of successful CR engagement that is not available through traditional programs: virtual social support through a social network. In addition, the investigators propose to improve self-efficacy and self-regulation through interactive digital multi-media education, personalized feedback, and motivation so that Veterans can complete the prescribed HBCR program and maintain physical activity long-term. This RCT will evaluate the effects of HBCR alone (usual care) versus HBCR + d-Coaching, including a private group with direct messaging on the Connecteam mobile application and bimonthly engagement sessions via VA Video Connect. The investigators will randomly assign 150 Veterans from 2 HBCR programs to a 3-month intervention. The addition of d- Coaching to existing digital technologies will be operationalized by using a private social media group to provide social support, education, personalized feedback, and motivation. The investigators aim to determine the effect of the d-Coaching intervention on: a) the number of completed HBCR sessions over 3 months, b) functional capacity, c) physical activity, c) psychosocial outcomes, d) clinical outcomes, and e) social cognitive factors of self-efficacy, self-regulation, and perceived social support over 6 months. The investigators will also evaluate the extent to which self-efficacy, self-regulation, and perceived social support mediate the effect of the intervention on function and physical activity.

The use of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has increased dramatically in the United States in recent years. The importance of postoperative physical therapy in the setting of anatomic total shoulder is well understood and explored in the literature. The literature describing postoperative physical therapy for RSA, however, is scarce and somewhat limited to the field of physiatry in the form of clinical commentary on rehabilitation programs.In addition, the use of formal in-person therapy versus physician-guided home therapy has been explored in total shoulder arthroplasty, demonstrating similar post-operative range of motion and patient-reported outcome (PROs) between groups. Furthermore, previous research into "telerehabilitation" or remote physical therapy through a video-based platform has demonstrated noninferiority in outcomes in multiple orthopedic procedures, including hip and knee arthroplasty and reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Telehealth therapy has not yet been formally evaluated in a randomized approach for reverse or anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty. Given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, emphasis on social distancing, and multiple states having issued "stay at home" orders, a study into the effectiveness of telerehabilitation on current postoperative outcomes in shoulder arthroplasty may influence postoperative management and allow patients an alternative route for rehabilitation that allows more flexibility in completing, as well as limits potentially extraneous travel and exposure. The project will be a randomized control trial evaluating formal in-person physical therapy versus telerehabilitation after shoulder arthroplasty. Patients who undergo shoulder arthroplasty will complete either formal physical therapy or telerehabilitation postoperatively. The aim will be to identify any differences in shoulder range of motion, pain, or patient-reported outcome measures (PROs) between those who complete in-person physical therapy versus telerehabilitation therapy.

The recommended treatment for urinary incontinence (UI) in women is individualized pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT), a costly and resource-intensive approach; one Canada is currently unable to meet. A recent non-inferiority randomized controlled trial just confirmed that group-based PFMT is equally effective but less resource-intensive (more cost-effective) than individual PFMT to treat UI in older women (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02039830). In times of COVID-19 however, with the Quebec, Canada's public health authorities preventing gatherings to stop the virus' spread, the potential of in-person group approaches is temporarily limited. It is thus important to develop innovative ways to deliver this first-line treatment remotely, particularly for those confined at home for whom UI can have a detrimental impact on physical health and quality of life. Ensuring an online option for group-based PFMT would also allow to increase the accessibility of UI treatment for women living in rural or remote areas in Canada, where pelvic floor rehabilitation services are not available or scarce. To this end, this study will assess the feasibility, acceptability and effects of a tele-rehabilitation PFMT group program for UI in older women.

Timely access to family-centred services for children with disability and their families is important to support their development and well-being. Currently, many children face long wait times and barriers to services. Lack of access can lead to negative impacts for children and stress for their families. With the COVID-19 pandemic, these issues have been made more challenging with the loss of rehabilitation support for children, increasing stress on families. During this time, therapists moved to telehealth service delivery to support children and families. We know that telehealth can improve access to services, children's outcomes, and family satisfaction, and that telehealth a key element of Family Centred Services (FCS) in pediatric rehabilitation. FCC include practices that promote flexibility, respect and dignity for families' views, knowledge and strengths, effective information sharing, partnership and collaboration in decision making, and coordinated and comprehensive care. FCC focuses on developing collaborative family-provider relationships, where parents are active participants in collaborative goal-setting, therapy planning, implementation, and evaluation, and where activities are integrated within daily routines and contexts (e.g., home and community). Compared to traditional service delivery methods, telehealth offers opportunities to enhance FCC practices. FCC provides alternate, convenient, and flexible ways to partner with families, respecting their characteristics and barriers, allows knowledge and information sharing about the child within their contexts, supports family decision making and parents' well-being, and has been recognized as an important addition to comprehensive care coordination and service delivery. Telehealth is an important and effective alternative for families living in both urban and remote or underserved areas and can be more convenient than in-person visits (e.g., less travel time, schedule flexibility). However, the use of telehealth prior to the pandemic was low in pediatric rehabilitation. In addition, many therapists report delivering telehealth without prior experience, and lack confidence, knowledge, and training in effective intervention strategies. Although therapists' knowledge, skills and attitudes toward telehealth can improve with time and experience, training and support are required for behavioural changes to occur. Following the pandemic, there has been continued support for the use of FCT and for its ongoing use to support families of children with disability. Pediatric rehabilitation therapists, service managers, professional associations, policy makers, and families are all making the case for not "returning to normal", and are asking for help to keep telehealth as part of FCS care. The goal of the current study is to evaluate the use and effectiveness of a Training Intervention and Program of Support (TIPS) to increase the uptake of FCT in pediatric rehabilitation centres across Canada. The main research question is: Can TIPS be adapted to increase the use of FCT interventions by therapists working in different contexts? The primary objectives are to: 1. Evaluate the use of FCT regarding: 1. Therapists' desire to use vs actual use of FCT practices 2. Use of FCT practices as they were intended to be used Secondary objectives are to: 2. Describe the variations required to adapt the TIPS to meet each site's needs 3. Identify factors that influence FCT use and adherence 4. Evaluate the effectiveness with regards to: 1. Service wait-times 2. Family-centredness of services 3. Changes in service delivery 5. Evaluate the costs (and possible cost savings) related to increased use of FCT The primary hypotheses are that therapists' desire to adopt FCT and deliver FCT practices as intended will (i) improve slightly in the short term (i.e., one-month post-TIPS), yet (ii) will improve significantly post-TIPS, (iii) while actual use will vary over time, across sites and therapists, and will depend on therapist-, client-, organizational- and system-factors. For the secondary hypotheses, the investigators expect that, for sites with the largest changes in desire to use and use of FCT practices as intended, (iv) wait times will significantly decrease and (v) families' perceptions of service quality will significantly improve post-TIPS.

The GYVE study aims at testing an online program (eModule) to help people who have had breast or gynecologic cancer and are experiencing pelvic health issues like urinary incontinence and pain during sex. These cancers and their treatments can cause significant pelvic health problems, affecting daily life and quality of life. Physiotherapy can help, but access is often limited due to costs and other barriers. The study will involve 20 participants from Quebec and Edmonton, who will take part in a 12-week program with weekly online group sessions led by a physiotherapist. Topics include pelvic floor muscle training, use of vaginal moisturizers, hydration, diet, and pain management. Led by experts in cancer rehabilitation and pelvic health, the study aims to provide valuable information on the feasibility and effectiveness of the eModule, potentially leading to broader implementation to help more people with lived experience of cancer.

Medically complex older Veterans are at greater risk for progressive declines in physical function, lower quality of life, and increasing care needs. Additionally, older Veterans experience social isolation and loneliness, and have low levels of physical activity. While the Veterans Health Administration has established programs to address rehabilitation needs, these programs tend to be diagnosis-focused, lack self-management approaches, include low-intensity rehabilitation, and typically require in-person attendance. A MultiComponent TeleRehabilitation (MCTR) program that includes high-intensity rehabilitation and self-management interventions, social support, and telehealth and technology supports may be more effective in improving and sustaining physical function for older Veterans with complex health conditions. Therefore, this project is designed to determine whether the MCTR program improves strength and physical function more effectively than traditional interventions.

Falls are a common occurrence among older adults, and Veterans have an even higher risk of falling compared to non-Veterans. These falls often lead to severe health consequences, including traumatic brain injuries, hip fractures, emergency visits, hospitalizations, and even death. It is crucial to prioritize fall prevention in order to reduce injuries and enable older Veterans to age comfortably at home. Although current fall prevention programs in the Veterans Health Administration primarily focus on inpatient care and nursing homes, there is a pressing need to address falls among older Veterans living independently in the community. The proposed VA-specific Fall Risk Identification and Management (FRIM) model aims to proactively prevent falls in older Veterans who receive primary care, effectively reducing the occurrence of adverse health events associated with falls. By placing emphasis on prevention rather than reacting after falls have already happened, this initiative seeks to significantly enhance the overall well-being of older Veterans.

As our population ages, more older adults face motor-cognitive declines, increasing their risk of falls and fear of falling. Exercise is an effective way to maintain cognitive function, as supported by recent studies. However, those with poor motor and cognitive abilities often struggle to visit rehabilitation centers, leading to high dropout rates and low adherence to unsupervised programs. A remote exercise program tailored for individuals with cognitive impairments is urgently needed to preserve cognitive function, promote independent living, and reduce related costs. Researchers aim to develop an in-home system for adults with mild cognitive issues or dementia, designed to improve balance and cognition while being remotely supervised through telemedicine.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Telerehabilitation clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Telerehabilitation clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Telerehabilitation trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Telerehabilitation is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Telerehabilitation medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Telerehabilitation clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Telerehabilitation for ACL Reconstruction Rehabilitation, Telerehabilitation for Low Back Pain and Telerehabilitation for Lower Back Pain to the Power online platform.
