Introduction<p>This review aimed to determine the effects of (digital) group therapies in comparison to individual therapies within physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy.</p>Methods<p>Embase, PubMed and Web of Science were searched until May 2025.
Description
RoB 2 and GRADE were used to rate the risk of bias and the certainty of the evidence. Mean differences were used to analyze differences between group and individual therapy.</p>Results<p>Eleven studies were included in this review (eight of physiotherapy, two of speech therapy, and one of occupational therapy).
The studies cover various diseases and exhibit a high degree of heterogeneity in interventions and outcomes. For 67 of the 76 outcomes, no significant differences were reported between group and individual therapy post-intervention. Group therapy showed better results in five outcomes, individual therapy showed better results in four outcomes.

Three studies raised some concerns, and eight studies showed a high overall risk of bias. Certainty grading was (very) low for all outcomes.</p>Discussion<p>This review found no clear evidence favoring either group or individual therapy in therapeutic services. The evidence’s derivation from heterogeneous low-quality studies with small sample sizes necessitates a careful interpretation of the results.
Further research is needed to validate these findings.</p>
