[Digital tools in musculoskeletal rehabilitation]. / Digitale Hilfsmittel in der muskuloskelettalen Rehabilitation.

The demographic transition in combination with the increasing demands of society and a growing shortage of skilled workers are leading to a shortage of care in musculoskeletal rehabilitation, especially in times of the pandemic. Digital interventions represent an opportunity to reintegrate patients with musculoskeletal dysfunctions into everyday life. The changes to the legal basis enable physicians and therapists to support the rehabilitation of their patients with reimbursable apps and digital applications and to permanently integrate learned skills into their daily lives. Telerehabilitation technologies, apps, telerobotics and mixed reality offer the opportunity to complement and optimize existing care structures and to redesign specialized therapeutic home visits with modern technology in a new and contemporary way.
