The Tules remote rehabilitation course study

Kela's Tules remote rehabilitation course study focuses on the new and fully distance-based Tules group rehabilitation introduced in 2024. There has also been a significant overhaul of the way people are referred to rehabilitation.  The study is a sub-study of the Muutos 4 (Change 4) project. The study is an implementation study, which provides information on the implementation of the Tules remote rehabilitation course, its execution, and referrals to the rehabilitation course. Study data is collected at different phases of the rehabilitation course through digital surveys, group interviews, and observations of distance rehabilitation situations. The study is multi-faceted and collects data from physiotherapists who provide rehabilitation, rehabilitation course attendees, and the service providers providing the rehabilitation course. The study provides information on rehabilitation services provided entirely through distance rehabilitation, which can be used in the development of rehabilitation services organised by Kela and other organisations.
