“telerehabilitation with health coaching represents a feasible and effective way to bring a rehabilitation intervention to individuals in need who otherwise have severely limited access”— CHEST
A Research Letter in CHEST has found that telerehabilitation combined with health coaching is a feasible and effective way to deliver pulmonary rehabilitation to people with COPD in rural areas, according to a post from the American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST) on X.
The post said the letter addresses a knowledge and practice gap in access to pulmonary rehabilitation for patients with COPD in rural areas. In that context, it said, the approach "represents a feasible and effective way to bring a rehabilitation intervention to individuals in need who otherwise have severely limited access."
CHEST shared the item as an "inside look" at its upcoming issue, dated November 9. The post did not give further details of the study, such as its design, size or specific outcomes, and linked to the full article.
The post was published under the hashtags #MedEd, #JournalCHEST and #COPD.
