Summary

This study responds to the need to validate the feasibility and effectiveness of a telerehabilitation home monitoring program for users receiving a preliminary assessment while waiting for rehabilitation services at the outpatient physiotherapy clinic. The specific objectives are as followed: 1) Evaluate the implementation of telerehabilitation monitoring (TELE-FOLLOW-UP); 2) Evaluate the effectiveness of TELE-FOLLOW-UP compared to the usual phone call; 3) Evaluate user satisfaction for these two modes of service delivery; 4) Identify facilitators and barriers to the implementation of TELE-FOLLOW-UP. In order to meet the objectives of the study, mixed methods will be used. A randomized clinical trial will be used to achieve objectives 1, 2 and 3. The investigators plan to recruit 142 patients. Two groups will be formed: 1) TELE-FOLLOW-UP group: users who will receive follow-up by telerehabilitation; 2) PHONE-FOLLOW-UP group: those who will receive follow-up by a phone call.
