Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study investigated the effects of resistive exercises applied with synchronized telerehabilitation on upper extremity functions in patients with SCI who use wheelchairs. A randomized controlled trial included 21 patients with SCI between the ages of between18 and 60. Participants were divided into two groups: the Study Group (n=11) and the Control Group (n=10). Participants in the study group applied resistive exercise with a synchronized telerehabilitation method, while participants in the control group applied a home exercise program. The upper extremity muscle strength of the participants was evaluated with hand-held dynamometer before and after the treatment, physical performance with a 20-meter push test, and physical activity level with Physical Activity Scale for Disabled Individuals.

Synchronous Telerehabilitation with Resistance Exercises

Participants received live, video-based supervised resistance training 3x/week for 6 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Telerehabilitation-Based Resistance Exercise Program

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants received synchronous telerehabilitation sessions three times per week for six weeks. Each session lasted 45 minutes and included supervised resistance exercises for upper extremity muscle groups. Exercise bands were chosen based on baseline strength. Pulse oximeters were used to monitor heart rate and oxygen saturation.

Home-Based Exercise Program

Participants followed an unsupervised exercise program at home for 6 weeks.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Home Exercise Program

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants were given a home-based, unsupervised exercise program to follow three times per week for six weeks. The exercises were taught at the beginning, and adherence was monitored using a physical activity diary. No tele-supervision was provided.
