Best practice for telerehabilitation

Telerehabilitation is an emerging area of practice for physiotherapists and rehabilitation professionals. Telerehab is a relatively new area with limited published best practices and each therapist and clinic needs to decide if telerehab is right for their practice and which patients on their caseload could benefit from a virtual visit.
