PURPOSE: Telerehabilitation, as an effective means of treatment, is not inferior to traditional rehabilitation, and solves the problem of many patients who do not have access to hospital-based training due to costs and distance. So far, the knowledge structure of the global use of telerehabilitation has not been formed. This study aimed to demonstrate the state of emerging trends and frontiers concerning the studies of telerehabilitation through bibliometric software. METHODS: Literature about telerehabilitation from 2000 to 2021 was retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. We used CiteSpace 5.8.R3 to analyze the publication years, journals/cited journals, countries, institutions, authors/cited authors, references, and keywords. Based on the analysis results, we plotted the co-citation map to more intuitively observe the research hotspots and knowledge structure. RESULTS: A total of 1,986 records were obtained. The number of annual publications gradually increased over the investigated period. The largest increase occurred between 2019 and 2020. J TELEMED TELECARE was the most prolific and the most cited journal. The United States was the most influential country, with the highest number of publications and centrality. The University of Queensland was the most productive institution. The author Tousignant M ranked the highest in the number of publications and Russell TG ranked the first in the cited authors. Respectively, the articles published by Cottrell MA and Russell TG ranked the first in the frequency and centrality of cited references. The four hot topics in telerehabilitation were "care","stroke", "telemedicine" and "exercise". The keyword "stroke" showed the strongest citation burst. The two frontier keywords were "physical therapy" and "participation". The keywords were clustered to form 21 labels. CONCLUSION: This study uses visualization software CiteSpace to provide the current status and trends in clinical research of telerehabilitation over the past 20 years, which may help researchers identify new perspectives concerning potential collaborators and cooperative institutions, hot topics, and research frontiers in the research field. Bibliometric analysis of telerehabilitation supplements and improves the knowledge field of telemedicine from the concept of rehabilitation medicine and provides new insights into therapists during the COVID-19 pandemic.
目的:远程康复作为一种有效的治疗手段,并不逊于传统康复,解决了许多因费用和距离而无法接受医院培训的患者的问题。迄今为止,全球远程康复应用的知识结构尚未形成。本研究旨在通过文献计量软件展示有关远程康复研究的新兴趋势和前沿领域的现状。
方法:从 Web of Science 核心合集检索 2000 年至 2021 年的远程康复文献。使用 CiteSpace 5.8.R3 分析出版年份、期刊/被引期刊、国家、机构、作者/被引作者、参考文献和关键词。基于分析结果,绘制共被引图谱,更直观地观察研究热点和知识结构。
结果:共获得 1986 条记录。在研究期间,年出版物数量逐渐增加。最大的增长发生在 2019 年至 2020 年之间。J TELEMED TELECARE 是最有影响力的期刊,发表的文章最多,被引频次最高。美国是最有影响力的国家,发表的文章数量最多,中心度最高。昆士兰大学是最具生产力的机构。在发表文章数量方面,作者 Tousignant M 排名最高,在被引作者方面,Russell TG 排名第一。分别由 Cottrell MA 和 Russell TG 发表的文章在被引参考文献的频率和中心度方面排名第一。远程康复的四个热点是“护理”、“中风”、“远程医疗”和“锻炼”。关键词“中风”显示出最强的引文爆发。两个前沿关键词是“物理治疗”和“参与”。关键词聚类形成 21 个标签。
结论:本研究使用可视化软件 CiteSpace 提供了过去 20 年远程康复临床研究的现状和趋势,这可能有助于研究人员识别研究领域中潜在的合作者和合作机构、热点以及研究前沿的新视角。远程康复的文献计量分析从康复医学的概念上补充和完善了远程医疗的知识领域,并为 COVID-19 大流行期间的治疗师提供了新的见解。
