“…This would address many of the limitations of other telehealth methods, providing visual information for the patients and reciprocal feedback for clinicians, further providing safety in addition to the benefits of social interactions. Videoconferencing has proven to be effective and beneficial in the delivery of health services in a variety of clinical contexts [14][15][16]; however, due to the timely nature of prehabilitation, telehealth may prompt different barriers to other clinical contexts of intervention. The choice of the system requires consideration of technological accessibility and intuitiveness of the interfaces: previous studies utilized either innovative devices to be taken home and/or installation services for the technologies.…”

In view of the COVID-19 pandemic and recent global events, the healthcare system and its services have been negatively affected, contributing towards extensive surgical backlogs. Oncological surgical candidates have been the most impacted by these changes and recommended self-isolation practices, which could result in emotional distress, sedentary behavior, and poor lifestyle habits. Preoperative supportive intervention, prehabilitation, has been proven to improve patients' functional status and clinical trajectories. Presently, there is a critical need for prehabilitation to optimize patient health, as they experience extended wait times. However, in-hospital delivery may not be an ideal approach due to public health and safety measures. Telehealth is a field of research and practice, which has grown and evolved significantly in the last two decades, allowing for the remote delivery of health services. Therefore, the current commentary addresses the different modalities of telehealth delivery in perspective of their known feasibility and potential application in prehabilitation.

“…In order to address the lack of outpatient physiotherapy services during the COVID-19 pandemic, telerehabilitation may prove a worthwhile solution. Telerehabilitation services were already gaining popularity before the COVID-19 pandemic because patients started to embrace the convenience and flexibility it affords [15]. In conjunction with wearables, telerehabilitation can also be used by surgeons to monitor their patients' postoperative functional outcomes [16].…”

Addressing Coronavirus Disease 2019 in Spine Surgery: A Rapid National Consensus Using the Delphi Method via Teleconference

et al. 2020

The magnitude and potential duration of the current coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic is something that most doctors currently in practice have yet to experience. While considerable information regarding COVID-19 is being published every day, it is challenging to filter out the most relevant or appropriate information for our individual practice. The Spine Society of Singapore convened via a teleconference on April 24, 2020 to collaborate on a national level and share collective wisdom in order to tackle the ongoing crisis. In the teleconference, 13 spine surgeons from across various hospitals in Singapore constituted the panel of experts.The following topics were discussed: repurposing of surgeons, continuity of spine services, introduction of telemedicine, triaging of spinal surgeries, preoperative testing, new challenges in performing spine surgery, and preparing for the post-pandemic era. While some issues required only the sharing of best practices, the Delphi panel method was adopted to form a consensus on others. Existing spine specific triage guidelines were debated and a locally accepted set of guidelines was established. Although preoperative testing is currently not performed routinely, the panel voted in favor of its implementation because they concluded that it is vital to protect themselves, their colleagues, and their patients. Solutions to operating room specific concerns were also discussed. This article reflects the opinions and insights shared during this meeting and reviews the evidence relevant to the issues that were raised. The rapid consensus reached during the teleconference has enabled us to be concerted, and thus stronger, in our national efforts to provide the best standard of care via our spine services in these challenging times. We believe that this article will provide some guidance for addressing COVID-19 in spine surgery and encourage other national/regional societies to conduct similar discussions that would help their navigation of this pandemic.

“…After TKA and THA, physiotherapy and exercise lead to improvements in physical function [5][6][7][8]. Physiotherapy exercise provided at home is an appealing approach with the possibility of wider acceptability and uptake in the near future [9]. Studies have shown that standardized home programs were not inferior to inpatient or outpatient physiotherapy in regard to their effects on functional status, health related quality of life (HRQOL) and range of movement (ROM) of the operated joint [10][11][12][13].…”

E-rehabilitation is the term used to define medical rehabilitation programs that are implemented at home with the use of information and communication technologies. The aim was to test whether sensor position and the sitting position of the patient influence the accuracy of knee range of movement (ROM) data displayed by the BPMpathway e-rehabilitation system. A preliminary study was conducted in a laboratory setting with healthy adults. Knee ROM data was measured with the BPMpathway e-rehabilitation system and simultaneously with a BIOPAC twin-axis digital goniometer. The main outcome was the root mean squared error (RMSE). A 20% increase or reduction in sitting height led to a RMSE increase. A ventral shift of the BPMpathway sensor by 45 • and 90 • caused significant measurement errors. A vertical shift was associated with a diminution of the measurement errors. The lowest RMSE (2.4 • ) was achieved when the sensor was placed below the knee. The knee ROM data measured by the BPMpathway system is comparable to the data of the concurrent system, provided the instructions of the manufacturer are respected concerning the sitting position of the subject for knee exercises, and disregarding the same instructions for sensor positioning, by placing the sensor directly below the knee.
