Úvod: Pravidelnost a správnost provádění rehabilitačních cviků v domácím prostředí je jedním ze základních předpokladů úspěšné léčby. Při rehabilitaci v domácím prostředí mnohdy dochází ke snižování rehabilitačního efektu z důvodu nepravidelnosti terapie, špatného provádění cviků nebo nedostatečného počtu jednotlivých opakování. Cílem klinické studie bylo zhodnocení vlivu tele-rehabilitační intervence na frekvenci a úspěšnost domácí balanční léčby u pacientů po úrazech kolenního kloubu.

Backround: Regularity and correctness of rehabilitation exercises in the home environment is one of the basic preconditions for successful treatment. During rehabilitation in the home environment, the rehabilitation effect is often reduced due to irregularity of therapy, poor execution of exercises or insufficient number of individual repetitions. The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate the effect of a tele-rehabilitation intervention on the frequency and success of home balance therapy in patients after knee injuries. Methodology: The control group consisted of 8 subjects (4 females, 4 males, age ± 40 years). The study group consisted of 8 persons (5 women and 3 men, age ± 39 years). At baseline, both groups were examined by anamnestic and questionnaire examination and at entry and exit by examination on a stabilometric platform – ICS Balance platform. Both groups performed a 3-week balance therapy on a spherical cup allowing sensing and visualization of the movement on a computer monitor or smart device. For the research group, the therapy was supplemented with a tele-rehabilitation intervention. Results: tele-rehabilitation intervention can be successfully used in home balance therapy. The results show that the Tele-rehabili-tation intervention leads to a higher frequency of balance aid use and a greater difference in stability test scores between baseline and outcome measurements.
