RESUMO
One of the most common conditions that affect activities of daily living and make them significantly more difficult to perform is low back pain (LBP). As a result, it is essential to treat LBP at an early stage. Particularly in geographically remote areas where there is a shortage of medical professionals and a lack of rehabilitation services, telerehabilitation is considered a potential alternative. Hence, this case report represents the impact of telerehabilitation on LBP in a 32-year-old female corporate worker who presented to the out-patient department of physiotherapy with the chief complaints of LBP for the last three months with difficulty in performing activities, and being unable to sit for prolonged period of time. The physiotherapeutic rehabilitation was virtually administered through online sessions through the cloud-based application as the patient was not able to visit the outpatient department on a regular basis. Post-intervention results demonstrated increased range of motion and flexibility, reduced pain, increased muscle strength, reduced disability and kinesiophobia, and improved quality of life. Hence, it can be concluded that telerehabilitation offers a novel solution to increase access to rehabilitation services.
