Interest in Telerehabilitation Among Patients with Mild to Severe Multiple Sclerosis: Results of the Czech Republic
Original language description
Background: Research in telerehabilitation (TR) in neurology tends to focus on patients with low to moderate disability. For neurology patients with severe mobility limitations, TR can help to enable rehabilitation for people whose mobility limitations make it difficult for them to access rehabilitation facilities. The aim of this study is to evaluate the interest of people with neurological disability caused by multiple sclerosis (MS) in TR services. Methods: This electronic survey targeted individuals with MS, specifically those with a higher level of disability. Results: A total of 355 patients with MS (155 with severe disabilities) participated in this study. There was no difference in interest in rehabilitation between people with mild-to-moderate and severe disabilities (p = 0.1258, confidence interval [CI] = 95%). However, we found a higher interest in upper limb exercises (p = 0.0006, CI = 95%) and balance training (p = 0.0000, CI = 95%) among people with higher disability. Conclusion: The results of this study may help to improve the planning and targeting of TR interventions, where a different focus of intervention is appropriate for patients with different levels of disability. This may enable TR to be maximally tailored to patient capabilities and current greatest limitations. For example, for people with severe disabilities, it is appropriate to focus on training the upper limb function to maintain self-sufficiency and implement interventions to prevent falls.
