A scoping review of the feasibility, acceptability, and effects of physiotherapy delivered remotely

CONCLUSIONS: Remote physiotherapy is safe, feasible, and acceptable to patients. Its effects are comparable with traditional care at lower cost.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONRemote physiotherapy is safe, feasible, and acceptable to patients with comparable effects to in-person care.Remote delivery increases access to physiotherapy especially for those who cannot travel to a treatment facility whether due to distance or disability.Remote physiotherapy may increase adherence to exercise by reminding patients when and how to exercise.Remote physiotherapy does not suit everyone, thus a hybrid system with both in-person and remote delivery may be most effective.PMID:36325612 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2022.2138574
