Description
Chenrui Yuan and co-authors test, in a 2025 trial, whether rehab by video link after knee ligament surgery matches in-person rehab in results and cost. Demand for reachable rehab is growing, above all in middle-income settings. Sixty-eight patients after arthroscopic ligament repair were split at random between remote and face-to-face programs for twelve weeks.
Knee function, pain, and motion improved alike in both groups, with no clear gaps at the final check. Remote rehab cost far less in total, saving roughly a third of the expense. The cost study showed strong savings per unit of benefit. The authors call remote rehab a sound, cheaper stand-in that could widen access after this common surgery.
