[ES] Introducción: Evaluar si, en pacientes con fractura de extremo distal del radio, los ejercicios domiciliarios realizados en una pantalla táctil de dispositivos tableta reducen el consumo de recursos presenciales y mejoran la recuperación clínica, comparado con el programa convencional de ejercicios domiciliarios prescrito en papel. Material y métodos: Ensayo clínico pragmático, multicéntrico, paralelo, de dos grupos y controlado, con evaluador cegado y análisis por intención de tratar. Reclutados cuarenta y seis pacientes con fractura de extremo distal del radio en dos hospitales del Sistema Sanitario Público de Andalucía (SSPA). Los participantes de los grupos experimental y control recibieron el mismo tratamiento de sesiones presenciales de fisioterapia. El grupo experimental recibió un programa de ejercicios domiciliario utilizando la aplicación para tableta ReHand y el grupo control recibió un programa de ejercicios domiciliario en papel. Variable principal: número de sesiones de fisioterapia registradas en la base de datos electrónica del SSPA. Variables secundarias: número de consultas de rehabilitación presenciales con un médico rehabilitador y variables clínicas como la funcionalidad, la fuerza de prensión, la destreza manual, el dolor y la amplitud de movimiento. Resultados: El grupo experimental necesitó menos sesiones de fisioterapia (DM: −16,94; IC del 95%: −32,5 a −1,38) y consultas de rehabilitación (DM: −1,7; IC del 95%: −3,39 a −0,02) en comparación con el grupo control. Conclusión: En pacientes con fractura de extremo distal del radio, la prescripción de ejercicios realizados en una pantalla táctil de dispositivos tipo tableta a través de ReHand redujo el número de sesiones de fisioterapia y de consultas de rehabilitación.
[EN] Introduction: To assess whether, in patients with distal radius fracture feedback-guided exercises performed on a tablet touchscreen reduce healthcare usage and improve clinical recovery, more than the conventional home exercise program prescribed on paper. Material and methods: A multicentre, parallel, two-group, pragmatic, controlled trial with assessor blinding and intention-to-treat analysis. Forty-six patients with distal radius fracture were recruited in Andalusian Public Health System. Participants in the experimental and control groups received the same in-patient physiotherapy sessions. Experimental group received a home exercise program using the ReHand tablet application and control group received an evidence-based home exercise program on paper. The primary outcome was the number of physiotherapy sessions tallied from hospitals data management system. Secondary outcomes included: the face-to-face rehabilitation consultations with a physiatrist, and clinical outcomes such as functional ability, grip strength, dexterity, pain intensity and range of motion. Results: The experimental group required fewer physiotherapy sessions (MD: −16.94; 95% CI: −32.5 to −1.38) and rehabilitation consultations (MD: −1.7; 95% CI: −3.39 to −0.02) compared to the control group. Conclusions: In patients with distal radius fracture, prescribing feedback-guided exercises performed on a tablet touchscreen provided by ReHand reduced number of physiotherapy sessions and rehabilitation consultations.
