Home physical therapy versus telerehabilitation in improving motor function and quality of life in Parkinson's disease: a randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: Both HPT and TR have demonstrated effectiveness, safety, and feasibility in PwPD. However, the HPT program exhibited greater effectiveness among older patients and higher patient compliance compared to TR.
Compliance with reporting standards in Mobile App interventions for ART Adherence among PLHIV
CONCLUSION: Most mHealth interventions promoting ART adherence did not comply with the standard reporting guideline. The lack of standardization of mHealth interventions may be responsible for increased siloed mobile applications. Hence, there is a need for global adoption of the checklist by Ministries of Health, international organizations, journals, and relevant authorities.
Exercise-based telerehabilitation in chronic low back pain - a scoping review
CONCLUSIONS: This scoping review confirms the heterogeneity within this research area but also contributes by mapping and demonstrating some knowledge gaps in the literature. Further research focusing on synchronous and group interventions are needed. The new technologies described in the included studies provide added value through functional improvements and task redesign.

Qualitative Assessment of Attitudes Towards Telerehabilitation in Patients with Metastatic Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer (PC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality among men. Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) has been shown to increase survival in men with metastatic PC. Despite its efficacy, ADT's long-term use adversely impacts quality of life (QoL) due to multiple side effects. Multimodal cancer rehabilitation (CR) programs improve QoL but face […]
