Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of rehabilitation for patients after traumatic brain injury surgery using OpenTeleRehab. Subjects and methods: This is a prospective interventional study without a control group, assessing the outcomes of motor function rehabilitation and daily living activities in a post-discharge rehabilitation program for 40 patients who underwent traumatic brain injury surgery at the Neurosurgery Center - Viet Duc Friendship Hospital from May 2023 to May 2024. Results: Post-intervention, the average UEFI score assessing upper extremity motor function improved by 29.58 points; the average LEFS score assessing lower extremity motor function improved by 21.05 points. The average Barthel score assessing the level of independence in daily living activities improved by 21.0 points. These improvements are statistically significant with p<0.05. No adverse effects were reported during the intervention. Conclusion: The rehabilitation intervention using the OpenTeleRehab application is safe and effective in improving upper and lower extremity motor function, as well as enhancing the independence in daily living activities for patients after traumatic brain injury surgery
