Telerehabilitation - Technical Validity and Clinical Feasibility

"1. Five exercise sessions of forty-five minutes within the centre on a cycle ergometer using a pulse oximetry device connected to the telerehabilitation system through Bluetooth. Data recorded in the internal memory of the pulse oximeter will be compared with those transmitted through the telerehabilitation system.~2. Ten days of use of a physical activity tracker connected to the telerehabilitation system. Self-reported daily step count by the participants (using a standardized data sheet) will be compared with the daily step count transmitted through the telerehabilitation system."

"An eight-week program including:~* Endurance training on a cycle ergometer (performed independently with remote monitoring or through video conference, according to the participant's preference), three times per week. Training prescription is progressively adjusted using an automated algorithm (aimed to first increase the training duration and then workload intensity).~* Peripheral muscle strengthening using the app (the patient will be requested to reproduce different exercises after watching a video) or through video conference, three times per week (thirty minutes).~* Daily walking with automated coaching.~* Self management education (one to nine sessions according to each individual needs, scheduled through videoconference).~* A self evaluation of symptoms through daily or weekly questionnaires. Different types of alert will be triggered at the center according to remote monitoring: non-adherence, clinical issue during endurance exercise sessions and change in symptoms."
