Digital Technologies in Postsurgical Orthopedic Rehabilitation: Scoping Review Mapping Interventions to the CAMS Framework (2020-2025)
By Lai NK, Huang H, Chen TK and 4 others.
Abstract
Background
Digital technologies have become common in postoperative orthopedic rehabilitation. The tendency toward this adoption appeared in the past decade. However, no standard method exists to classify their functional capabilities. This absence hinders practical implementation. Clinicians currently lack a structured framework to distinguish between the functional capabilities of different digital rehabilitation technologies effectively.
Objective
This scoping review aims to map digital interventions used in postsurgical orthopedic rehabilitation to a proposed Coordination, Alignment, Motivation, and Strength (CAMS) framework and to identify research trends, functional coverage, and gaps in current evidence.
