133 The feasibility of telerehabilitation after surgery 6 Table 3. Functional status capacity outcome measures at hospital discharge (T0). Beta values represent the differences in functional status between the historical control group and the intervention group at T0 Functional status outcome Intervention Control Beta 95% CI P -value RHGS a (percent predicted), mean (SD) 92.4 (19.7) 107.9 (23.2) −15.5 −31.9 to 0.79 .04 b LHGS c (percent predicted), mean (SD) 97.1 (20.8) 106.2 (22.4) −11.9 −26.6 to 2.9 .11 b 30CST d (percent predicted), mean (SD) 50.8 (31.6) 89.0 (34.4) −33.2 −53.8 to −12.7 .003 b 2MWT e (meters), mean (SD) 117.4 (50.6) 154.4 (32.3) −22.6 −42.7 to −2.5 .03 b a RHGS: right-handgrip strength. b P ≤. 05 is considered significant. c LHGS: left-handgrip strength. d 30CST: 30-second chair stand test. e 2MWT: 2-min walk test. Three months postoperatively, no differences in functional status measures were found between the intervention group and the matched control group (Table 4). Within the intervention group, 30CST, 2MWT, fatigue, and HRQL improved significantly between T0 and T1 and between T1 and T2, whereas activities of daily life (ADL) decreased significantly between T0 and T1 and improved again between T1 and T2 (Table 5).
