DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING OF A TELEREHABILITION SYSTEM FOR PATIENTS WITH OSTEOARTHRITIS OF THE. KNEE (AGES 40-70 YEARS, GRADE 1-3, ACCORDING TO KELLGREN AND LAWRENCE) This study aims to develop and compare two methods of implementing a therapeutic exercise program for knee osteoarthritis: face-to-face sessions versus a telerehabilitation program. The telerehabilitation system will allow remote delivery of exercises with real-time monitoring and feedback. Measurement tools will assess various dimensions of knee osteoarthritis, ensuring comprehensive evaluation. Two experimental groups will receive either face-to-face or telerehabilitation sessions twice a week for eight weeks. Both groups will follow structured exercise programs, with the telerehabilitation group receiving remote instructions and feedback. Measurements will be taken before and after the intervention period, as well as at a three-month follow-up. Expected results include confirming and potentially enhancing findings regarding the effectiveness of remote rehabilitation for knee osteoarthritis. The study anticipates that telerehabilitation intervention could be equally or more effective than face-to-face intervention, ultimately providing a personalized, self-managed solution for managing chronic conditions like knee osteoarthritis.
