Introduction: This study addresses the effectiveness of telerehabilitation-based interventions in
adults with knee osteoarthritis, exploring various modalities such as exercise programs delivered
via videoconferencing, patient education, and telephone coaching. The research encompasses a
set of specific interventions, exercise programs, and innovative approaches such as exergaming
programs.
Objectives: The main objective is to evaluate the impact of these interventions on pain
management, physical function, and quality of life in individuals with knee osteoarthritis.
Methods: Scientific literature published between 2014 and 2024 has been reviewed, utilizing
the following databases: PubMed, PEDro, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE
Results: After a comprehensive review, 10 studies were selected for inclusion, with the majority
of participants being women, representing between 60% and 80% of the sample. The average
age of participants ranged from 55 to 69 years. In the reviewed studies, telerehabilitation stood
out for its use of videoconferencing and digital tools to guide patients through home exercise
programs, improving adherence through remote support and telephone coaching.
Telerehabilitation-based interventions proved particularly useful in maintaining patient
engagement with exercise programs, ensuring continuous progress beyond conventional clinical
settings. Additionally, telerehabilitation provides valuable remote support and guidance from
physiotherapists, contributing to improved clinical outcomes for patients.
Conclusions: In the context of osteoarthritis (OA), therapeutic exercise has been shown to be
effective in its treatment. Additionally, telerehabilitation-based interventions have proven to be
effective in managing knee osteoarthritis, improving clinical outcomes and patients' quality of
life. Current recommendations suggest implementing multidisciplinary approaches that integrate
therapeutic exercise, patient education, and other therapeutic modalities.
