Clinical Outcomes of Asynchronous Telerehabilitation Are Equivalent to Synchronous Telerehabilitation in Patients With Fibromyalgia: a Randomized Control Study
Sixty-six FMS patients received the same exercise program for 8 weeks and divided, synchronous (n: 33), asynchronous (n: 33). Pain (Visual analog Scale, VAS), functional limitations and disabilities (Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, FEA), health-related quality of life (HRQol; Short Form-12, SF 12), catastrophizing (pain catastrophizing scale, PCS), anxiety and depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, HAD), functional capacity (6-minute walking test, 6MWT), muscle strength (Arm curl test) joint position sense (Laser Cursor Assisted Angle Repetition Test, LI-RATT) were assessed at baseline, mid-treatment (week 4), end of treatment (week 8), and eight weeks after treatment (week 16).
