研究概览
简要总结
This research compares the effectiveness of mobile application-based data collection versus conventional methods in monitoring functional outcomes in patients with lower back pathologies undergoing interferential therapy and lower back strengthening exercises. Using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) as the primary measure, the study evaluates improvements in disability scores, adherence to data collection, user satisfaction, and completeness of follow-up data. The aim is to determine whether mobile applications can enhance data collection efficiency, patient engagement, and outcome monitoring in rehabilitation care.
