Osakidetza will launch a tele-rehabilitation service from next Monday, April 20, a hybrid model that will combine face-to-face care with online sessions. Patients with three pathologies will be the first to receive tele-rehabilitation, with shoulder, lumbar and neck pathologies .

For the time being, this new model will begin in Álava at the Salburua, Zabalgana and Aranbizkarra II health centres in Vitoria-Gasteiz.

In a statement, Osakidetza has explained that tele-rehabilitation will "put an end to unnecessary travel by users, who will not have to give up comfort and security at home," while health workers will "increase the technology-based clinical impact."

Patients with shoulder, hip and neck pathologies currently receive 12 face-to-face sessions over 6-8 weeks, a new hybrid model that will combine 8 face-to-face sessions with 6 telematic sessions over 8 weeks.

Osakidetza has stated that tele-rehabilitation "will make it possible to complete an optimal, comfortable and versatile therapeutic plan for patients."
