Description
Summary:The progress of a study to determine the technical acceptability of information available via a customized telerahabilitation system regarding patients with lower-limb ulcers or recent lower-limb amputations is discussed. Results of the study showed that the intrarater agreement on 57 wounds for the primary rater was 93 percent and the McNemar test indicated no significant difference in the ratings.
