Home Rehabilitation as Continuity of Care in MS

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Telerehabilitation: Patients will perform a 12 weeks rehabilitation program through telemedicine at home after intensive rehabilitation in hospital.

Study summary

RCT pilot study to evaluate adherence, satisfaction and feasibility in the use of a telemedicine station for balance rehabilitation in patients with multiple sclerosis.

The platform is designed as a tool for maintenance rehabilitation in a home setting and not as an alternative to intensive treatment in hospital, and is therefore compared to maintenance treatment as usual (TAU) after intensive treatment.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Feasibility — Home rehabilitation, from the end of the intensive treatment to the follow up evaluation (12 weeks)
  Safety in the use of the telemedicine system - number of sessions played and number of adverse events/number of dropouts
