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.

Bridging the Gap: How Accounting for Social Determinants of Health Can Improve Digital Health Equity in Cardiovascular Medicine
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: In this review, we discuss the importance of digital health equity and how social determinants of health (and intersectionality with race, ethnicity, and gender) affect cardiovascular health-related outcomes in digital health trials. We propose strategies to improve digital health equity as we move to a digitally-connected world for healthcare applications and beyond.
Health Care Utilization With Telemedicine and In-Person Visits in Pediatric Primary Care
