abstract: 'IntroductionMusculoskeletal (MSK) disorders such as low back pain and
|
|
|
|
osteoarthritis are a leading cause of disability and the leading
|
|
|
|
contributor to the need for rehabilitation services globally. This need
|
|
|
|
has surpassed the availability of trained clinicians; even in urban
|
|
|
|
areas where services and providers are thought to be more abundant,
|
|
|
|
access can be challenged by transportation options and financial costs
|
|
|
|
associated with travel, care and lost time from work. However,
|
|
|
|
continuing standard of fully in-person rehabilitation care for
|
|
|
|
MSK-associated pain and disability may no longer be necessary. With
|
|
|
|
increased ownership or access to even a basic mobile phone device, and
|
|
|
|
evidence for remote management by trained clinicians, some individuals
|
|
|
|
with MSK disorders may be able to continue their rehabilitation regimen
|
|
|
|
predominantly from home after initial evaluation in primary care or an
|
|
|
|
outpatient clinic. MethodsThis manuscript describes application of a
|
|
|
|
framework we used to culturally and contextually adapt an evidence-based
|
|
|
|
approach for leveraging digital health technology using a mobile phone
|
|
|
|
(mHealth) to expand access to rehabilitation services for MSK-associated
|
|
|
|
pain and disability. We then conducted a multi-level analysis of
|
|
|
|
policies related to the adapted approach for rehabilitation service
|
|
|
|
delivery to identify opportunities to support sustainability. ResultsOur
|
|
|
|
study was conducted in Tanzania, a lower-middle income country with
|
|
|
|
their first National Rehabilitation Strategic Plan released in 2021.
|
|
|
|
Lessons learned can be applied even to countries with greater
|
|
|
|
infrastructure or fewer barriers. The seven-step adaptation framework
|
|
|
|
used can be applied in other regions to improve the likelihood of local
|
|
|
|
mHealth adoption and implementation. Our practice and policy assessment
|
|
|
|
for Tanzania can be applied in other regions and used collaboratively
|
|
|
|
with government officials in support of building or implementing a
|
|
|
|
national rehabilitation strategic plan. ConclusionThe work described,
|
|
|
|
lessons learned and components of the plan are generalizable globally
|
|
|
|
and can improve access to rehabilitation services using mHealth to
|
|
|
|
address the significant and increasing burden of disability.'
