Physiotherapists' endorsement suggests tele-rehabilitation feasibility in cardiorespiratory care; leaves open rigorous outcome trials versus in-person delivery.
What are the perceived value and experiences of physiotherapists relating to tele-rehabilitation for cardiorespiratory care during the COVID-19 pandemic?
Physiotherapists endorsed tele-rehabilitation as a suitable and effective alternative to in-person cardiorespiratory care delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Schertzer et al. (2022) studied Cardiorespiratory conditions (n=7). Tele-rehabilitation vs. In-person services was evaluated on Perceived value and experiences of physiotherapists relating to tele-rehabilitation. Tele-rehabilitation was endorsed by 7 interviewed physiotherapists as an equally effective alternative to in-person services for cardiorespiratory care, despite unique implementation challenges.
