Effect of Home-based Telerehabilitation on Balance, Functional Mobility, and Quality of Life in Persons with Parkinson’s Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: Persons with Parkinson's disease (PwPD) require ongoing rehabilitation to maintain independence, but traditional center-based and unsupervised home programs have limitations in accessibility and adherence. Home-based telerehabilitation (TR) offers a promising alternative by enabling remote delivery of exercise interventions. Objective: To evaluate the effect of home-based TR on balance, functional mobility, and quality of life in PwPD. Methods: A comprehensive electronic search was conducted across PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, OvidSP, ProQuest, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane CENTRAL, and PEDro databases. Interventional studies on exercise-centric home-based TR for PwPD with either balance, functional mobility, or quality of life as outcomes were included. Results: A total of 37 studies were included in this systematic review, of which 13 were eligible for meta-analysis. The meta-analysis revealed small but significant improvements in balance (SMD = 0.25; 95% CI: 0.04 to 0.45; p = 0.02). and functional mobility (SMD = -0.28; 95% CI: -0.52 to -0.05; p = 0.02). However, no significant effect was observed for quality of life (SMD = -0.08; 95% CI: -0.25 to 0.09; p = 0.35). Conclusion: Home-based TR is effective for improving balance and functional mobility in PwPD, although, its effect on quality of life is unclear which warrants further research.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
