- Abstract
- Objectives: This narrative review aims to identify the most relevant areas of data collection for the telemonitoring of patients with running-related injuries. The objective is to explore different instruments of measure, specifically Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs), used to assess injuries related to running and determine their suitability for telemonitoring purposes. Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted to identify articles utilizing PROMs for assessing sports activity, pain, lower limb function, and other factors related to running. The PROMs included in the review were categorized based on their specificity to running-related injuries, body parts, and assessing domains. A detailed analysis of the psychometric properties of each instrument was performed to evaluate their validity, reliability, and responsiveness. Results: A total of 31 PROMs were identified and categorized. The scoring domains extracted from the PROMs included Activity of Daily Living, Emotions, Pain, Physical Function, Sports Activity, and Symptoms. Despite variations in the instruments, commonalities and similarities were observed in assessing patients across different pathologies and body areas. Most self-reported tools demonstrated validity, reliability, and responsiveness. Conclusion: The findings suggest that combining and refining the assessing parameters from the identified PROMs could provide comprehensive scoring domains for assessing patients with running-related injuries. However, it is crucial to use different versions of the PROMs specific to the injury, body part, and assessing domains to ensure accurate and tailored assessments. Further research is needed to validate the identified PROMs in telemonitoring settings and explore the integration of Performance-Based Outcome Measures (PBOMs) to enhance risk factor assessment and injury prevention. Integrating PROMs into telemonitoring platforms and wearable devices can empower patients, improve collaboration with healthcare providers, and potentially reduce the occurrence of running-related injuries.
