Competency requirements for patients and therapists in telerehabilitation aftercare: a qualitative study

Findings suggest to focus not only on technical but also on professional and social competencies in training and further education in order to promote the competent use of telerehabilitation aftercare. If sufficient opportunities are created to get to know and try out such programs, uncertainties could be reduced and positive user experiences can be promoted. Due to the small sample size, the results cannot be generalized without restriction, and further research with a larger and more diverse sample is necessary.
