The most important part of a patient’s physical recovery from an injury or major surgery is following the prescribed stretching and exercise regimen. However, it is not always easy to stay motivated at home. This month’s apps are all designed to keep patients focused, track their progress, and provide feedback to their clinicians regarding their physical therapy. Above we highlight:
- An instructional app with >40 videos demonstrating various exercises and stretches
- An interactive app with an index of 165 lower limb injuries and therapeutic techniques
- A digital tool that allows physicians to create personalized rehabilitation treatment plans
- An app that streamlines patient instruction, tracking, and feedback
- A novel app that allows users to schedule and time physical therapy exercises
