Patients undergoing evaluation for musculoskeletal concerns are often seen by a physician and physical therapist in the in-person setting sequential manner. This process typically delays onset of nonoperative care, inclusive therapy, creates risk inadequate clinical collaboration between therapist. To address these issues, we designed novel initial patient to group visit which both specialty-trained simultaneously evaluate together digital encounter. The aim study is gain insights from patients on their experience with this innovative simultaneous medical doctor (MD+PT) format concerns. An electronic 7-question survey was sent 750 who completed an MD+PT asking them comment prior evaluations format. In total, 195 (26%) responded frequent body regions diagnosis being lumbar spine (n=65), knee (n=32), shoulder (n=21), cervical (n=20), hip (n=14), hand (n=11).

Background Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) has been shown to effectively support postsurgical recovery in patients with lung cancer (LC) at various stages. While digital PR programs offer a potential solution traditional challenges, such as time and space constraints, their efficacy feasibility for undergoing LC surgery remain unclear. Objective This systematic review aims assess the effectiveness of individuals surgery. Methods A was conducted, retrieving data from 6 English 4 Chinese databases inception January 1, 2024. References related studies were also manually reviewed. The primary outcomes assessed physical capacity, function, incidence postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). secondary compliance, hospital stay, chest tube duration, anxiety, depression, quality life. Where applicable, recruitment withdrawal rates evaluated. Meta-analysis descriptive analysis used outcomes. Results total 5 randomized controlled trials quasi-experimental (n=1063) included, being included meta-analyses. Our meta-analyses revealed that reduced decline 6-minute walk distance (6-MWD) by an average 15 m compared routine admission discharge, demonstrating clinically significant improvement capacity (mean difference –15.00, 95% CI –25.65 –4.34, P=.006). Additionally, associated reduction (26/58, 45%) likelihood PPCs (risk ratio 0.45, 0.30-0.66, P<.001) 1.53 days duration –1.53, –2.95 –0.12, P=.03), without statistically effect on stay –1.42, –3.45 0.62, P=.17). Descriptive analyses suggested improve knowledge, life, self-efficacy, while reducing depression anxiety. Notably, found be safe, feasible, acceptable supplementary intervention. Despite challenges low recruitment, enhanced exercise increased patient satisfaction, lowered dropout rates. Conclusions is first comprehensive suggest acceptable, effective intervention promoting after Digital valuable supplement, expanding access programs. Future research should prioritize development interactive inclusive solutions tailored diverse age groups educational backgrounds. Rigorous studies, including large-scale, high-quality detailed protocols robust methodologies, are needed short-, medium-, long-term PR, ensuring reproducibility future research.
