What is Telerehabilitation?
Telerehabilitation uses technology to deliver physiotherapy services remotely via video consultations, digital exercise programs, and online monitoring tools.
Research Background
Dr. Anamika conducted a Randomised Controlled Trial titled "Effectiveness of Telerehabilitation in Non-Specific Low Back Pain Among University Professionals" as part of her MPT (Orthopaedics) at Chandigarh University.
Key Findings
The study compared outcomes between in-person physiotherapy and structured telerehabilitation for university professionals with non-specific low back pain. Results demonstrated that telerehabilitation can be an effective, accessible alternative — particularly for working professionals who struggle with clinic attendance.
Who Benefits Most?
University staff, IT professionals, and remote workers who spend long hours seated are prime candidates for telerehabilitation interventions targeting low back pain.
