Background. Fear-avoidance beliefs (FAB) have been associated with poorer prognosis and decreased adherence to exercise-based treatments in musculoskeletal (MSK) pain. However, the impact of high FAB on adherence and outcomes in upper extremity MSK (UEMSK) pain is poorly explored, particularly through exercise-based digital care programs (DCP). Objective. Assess the adherence levels, clinical outcomes and satis...
Background: Musculoskeletal conditions are the leading cause of disability worldwide. Telerehabilitation may be a viable option in the management of these conditions, facilitating access and patient adherence. Nevertheless, the impact of biofeedback- assisted asynchronous telerehabilitation remains unknown. Objective: To systematically review and assess the effectiveness of exercise-based asynchronous biofeedba...
Digital interventions have emerged as a solution for time and geographical barriers, however, their potential to target other social determinants of health is largely unexplored. In this post-hoc analysis, we report the impact of social deprivation on engagement and clinical outcomes after a completely remote multimodal musculoskeletal (MSK) digital care program managed by a culturally-sensitive clinical team. ...
Background: Chronic shoulder pain (SP) is responsible for significant morbidity, decreased quality of life and impaired work ability, resulting in high socioeconomic burden. Successful SP management is dependent on adherence and compliance with effective evidence-based interventions. Digital solutions may improve accessibility to such treatments, increasing convenience, while reducing healthcare-related costs. ...
