The comparison of telerehabilitation and face-to-face rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Four studies were included in this meta-analysis which compared outcomes of rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty between telerehabilitation and standard, face-to-face rehabilitation methods. In pooled analyses, change in patient-reported function, postoperative range of motion in extension, and postoperative quadriceps strength were reported to significantly favour telerehabilitation over face-to-face rehabilitation. No significant differences were observed in analyses of pain reduction and postoperative range of motion in flexion.
