Patient compliance to physiotherapy after surgical intervention is key to optimal functional outcome. This has been recognised by published literature over a number of decades. Improving and monitoring patient compliance remains a challenge. This paper explores the use of a website linked iPhone application that may be used to address this issue.
The purpose of this case study was to assess if the D+R Therapy application was of benefit to a patient and to assess the advantages and disadvantages of such a system.
One patient who underwent knee cartilage resurfacing surgery was followed up in the post-operative period.
RESULTS/CONCLUSION: The D+R Therapy platform may provide a timely and cost effective method of managing patients undergoing musculoskeletal physiotherapy. Costs may be reduced by exploiting the hardware patients already own, and identifying non-compliant patients who may be of interest to both healthcare providers and insurers.

手术干预后患者对物理治疗的依从性是实现最佳功能结果的关键。几十年来,这一点已得到发表文献的认可。改善和监测患者依从性仍然是一项挑战。本文探讨了使用与网站相连的iPhone应用程序来解决这一问题。
本案例研究的目的是评估D+R治疗应用程序对一名患者是否有益,并评估该系统的优缺点。
对一名接受膝关节软骨表面置换手术的患者进行术后随访。
结果/结论:D+R治疗平台可能为管理接受肌肉骨骼物理治疗的患者提供一种及时且具有成本效益的方法。通过利用患者已拥有的硬件,并识别医疗服务提供者和保险公司可能感兴趣的不依从患者,可以降低成本。
