Advancements in modern medicine have bolstered the usage of home-based rehabilitation services for patients, particularly those recovering from diseases or conditions that necessitate a structured rehabilitation process. Understanding the technological factors that can influence the efficacy of home-based rehabilitation is crucial for optimizing patient outcomes. As technologies continue to evolve rapidly, it is imperative to document the current state of the art and elucidate the key features of the hardware and software employed in these rehabilitation systems. This narrative review aims to provide a summary of the modern technological trends and advancements in home-based shoulder rehabilitation scenarios. It specifically focuses on wearable devices, robots, exoskeletons, machine learning, virtual and augmented reality, and serious games. Through an in-depth analysis of existing literature and research, this review presents the state of the art in home-based rehabilitation systems, highlighting their strengths and limitations. Furthermore, this review proposes hypotheses and potential directions for future upgrades and enhancements in these technologies. By exploring the integration of these technologies into home-based rehabilitation, this review aims to shed light on the current landscape and offer insights into the future possibilities for improving patient outcomes and optimizing the effectiveness of home-based rehabilitation programs.

Introduction: Biofeedback is a non-pharmacological treatment option valued for its minimal risk of adverse events and offers a safe alternative for individuals seeking preventive care for migraine. Despite level A evidence for migraine prevention, biofeedback treatment is still unavailable to most patients. We developed a novel medical device (Cerebri) for multimodal biofeedback treatment that omits the need for healthcare personnel involvement.

Background: There is growing demand for home-based palliative care because of patient preference, and increased number of deaths. Optimal models for community-based palliative and end-of-life care are unknown.
Aim: To identify, synthesise and describe review-level evidence to better understand models of palliative and end-of-life care for adults living at home, and examine components of these models and their association with outcomes.
Purpose: This systematic review and meta-analysis assesses the comparative effectiveness of home-based and supervised rehabilitation protocols following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, with a focus on functional recovery and muscle strength.
Methods: Registered in PROSPERO (CRD42024585478) and following PRISMA guidelines, we searched Web of Science, PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, and Cochrane. For the quality assessment, the Cochrane Collaboration risk of bias (RoB) tool was used.

This study evaluated the program delivery of a part of the age-specific intervention Young Adult Taking Action (YATAC), a rehabilitation program for young adult cancer survivors, focusing on dose, adherence, fidelity and adaptation. It also explored changes in health-related quality of life, fatigue, depression, anxiety, and loneliness. A one-armed feasibility study with 19 young adult cancer survivors (aged 18-39) involved in a multicomponent rehabilitation program a 5-day residential stay, a 10-week home-based period, and a 2-day follow-up.

Introduction: Pulmonary hypertension is a pathophysiological disorder with poor prognosis. Exercise intolerance and lower physical activity levels are common features of pulmonary hypertension and affect patients' quality of life. Exercise training effectively improves clinical outcomes in this population, but access to rehabilitation centres is often limited.
