Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Physical Therapy
This arm will receive the standard of care for orthopedic patients receiving a diagnosis and then a recommendation for outpatient physical therapy referral. They will follow through on the referral and attend physical therapy.
Formal Physical Therapy
This intervention involves referral to a licensed physical therapist or supervised ATC-L.
eRehab
This group will not go to formal therapy but receive Internet delivered patient education and exercise instruction. This group will then perform those exercises at home.
eRehab
Growth in e-Health applications, defined as any computer or Internet application integrated into health services, has resulted in the development of treatment strategies to improve healthcare while reducing costs. The utilization of e-Health to provide a rehabilitative intervention has recently been identified in the cardiac literature as "e-rehabilitation" or "eRehab." This study specifically compares an orthopedic eRehab Internet application to standard outpatient physical therapy as an adjunct in the treatment of non-complicated knee and shoulder disorders.
