Interventions

OTHER

home tele-rehabilitation

Patients will receive a personalised home tele-rehabilitation exercise program consisting of 3 sessions per week for a duration of 12 weeks. The sessions will be organised as follows: one session will be conducted via tele-rehabilitation with the support of a physiotherapist in small groups of up to 5 patients; in the remaining two sessions, the patient will perform the exercises independently at home. BTS TELEREHAB is the platform that will allow the delivery of remote rehabilitation services. The patient is given the system to take home, where they will connect the small Brain PC, that is the computer unit of the BTS TELEREHAB solution, to their television. Before starting the rehabilitation program, the patient will receive training with the technology in the hospital, in the presence of the physiotherapist. During motor rehabilitation sessions, the patient wears a special inertial sensor, the G-Sensor device.

OTHER

Usual care

Participants will receive a booklet containing information and activities on well-being. They will be invited to do whatever they wish with the information booklet and the proposed exercises.
