Cover Story: Cystic fibrosis (CF), a chronic disease requiring lifelong multidisciplinary care, often poses challenges in treatment adherence in children and adolescents. Telerehabilitation is increasingly recognized as a resource that can positively impact disease outcomes. Given the limited research in this area, this scoping review aims to identify technology-mediated rehabilitation interventions for children and adolescents with CF. Employing the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines, five studies, encompassing interventions such as physical exercise programs, therapeutic regimen management, and symptom control and utilizing internet platforms, video games, and telephones, underwent a narrative analysis. It was concluded that supervised telerehabilitation with telemonitoring emerged as a feasible and safe approach. View this paper
