Abstract

Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most prevalent conditions that significantly impair daily living activities and make them more difficult to perform. Therefore, it is imperative to treat LBP as soon as possible. Telerehabilitation is viewed as a potential alternative, especially in geographically remote areas where medical professionals are scarce and rehabilitation services are lacking. Accordingly, this case report details the effects of PHYSICAL REHABALITATION WITH ADDITIONAL TELEREHABILITATION on a 61-year-old female patient who presented with the primary complaint of LBP for the previous year and who underwent lumbar discectomy. The patient complained of difficulty performing activities and being unable to sit for extended periods of time. After four weeks, the patient was unable to regularly visit the outpatient department, therefore the physiotherapeutic rehabilitation was virtually provided through online sessions. Results after the intervention showed improved quality of life, less disability, less discomfort, more muscle strength, and increased range of motion and flexibility. Thus, it can be said that telerehabilitation in conjunction with physical therapy presents a fresh way to broaden access to rehabilitation treatments.
