Background: Hip osteoarthritis generates very often musculoskeletal pain causing functional impairment and decreasing mobility, autonomy and quality of life. Patients are then often offered specific telerehabilitation care to provide them with the possibility to practice painless and supervised adapted physical and functional activities. But what about effectiveness of these telerehabilitation programs? Objectives: The aim of this scoping review is to list and highlight different telerehabilitation currently offered during hip OA care in order to assess their effectiveness in programs care. Methods: 5 databases were screened for "osteoarthritis", "hip osteoarthritis", "pre-operation", "rehabilitation", "tele-rehabilitation", "digital health", "telecommunication" in accordance with PRISMA-ScR guideline. Results: 19 articles were selected according to inclusion criteria. The telerehablitation was offered in 6 different ways (video call, applications smartphones, website, etc.). The assessments were mainly quality of life questionnaires, the perceived effort after exercises, field surveys on the tool experience, physical tests to assess motor functions and interviews to measure acceptability before use. Conclusion: This review highlights the importance and relevance to evaluate contributions and limitations of new healthcare technologies in order to improve patient follow-up and thus enable better remote clinical care.
