“…Remote rehabilitation service delivery required empowering the patient to carry out therapeutic activities as guided by the clinician, rather than engaging as a more passive or physically-assisted recipient of the rehabilitation modality/activity. Barriers to physical therapy telerehabilitation include patients' negative perceptions of telerehabilitation related to the lack of manual contact during remote sessions (47). For some with longstanding rehabilitation needs, telerehabilitation required a shift toward greater selfmanagement.…”

Telerehabilitation provides Veteran patients with necessary rehabilitation treatment. It enhances care continuity and reduces travel time for Veterans who face long distances to receive care at a Veterans Health Administration (VHA) medical facility. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a sudden shift to telehealth–including telerehabilitation, where a paucity of data-driven guidelines exist that are specific to the practicalities entailed in telerehabilitation implementation. This paper explicates gains in practical knowledge for implementing telerehabilitation that were accelerated during the rapid shift of VHA healthcare from out-patient rehabilitation services to telerehabilitation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Group and individual interviews with 12 VHA rehabilitation providers were conducted to examine, in-depth, the providers' implementation of telerehabilitation. Thematic analysis yielded nine themes: (i) Willingness to Give Telerehabilitation a Chance: A Key Ingredient; (ii) Creativity and Adaptability: Critical Attributes for Telerehabilitation Providers; (iii) Adapting Assessments; (iv) Adapting Interventions; (v) Role and Workflow Adaptations; (vi) Appraising for Self the Feasibility of the Telerehabilitation Modality; (vii) Availability of Informal, In-Person Support Improves Feasibility of Telerehabilitation; (viii) Shifts in the Expectations by the Patients and by the Provider; and (ix) Benefit and Anticipated Future of Telerehabilitation. This paper contributes an in-depth understanding of clinical reasoning considerations, supportive strategies, and practical approaches for engaging Veterans in telerehabilitation.

“…Accessibility, awareness, and skills relating the teletechnology among patients also influence the usage and success of telehealth delivery. The patient's expectations are also met with telerehabilitation [ 41 ]. Hence, it is imperative to enhance the efforts to use e-health technology in rehabilitation settings.…”

Telerehabilitation offers an alternative healthcare delivery remotely in a patient’s environment at a lower cost, better accessibility, and equivalent quality to the standard approach. Several studies had examined the effectiveness of telerehabilitation inpatients with musculoskeletal disorders, and although there is evidence that it is at least equally effective as the standard care, the patient and rehabilitation professional satisfaction with the delivery method is not conclusive. A systematic review was conducted to study the patients’ and rehabilitation professionals’ satisfaction with telerehabilitation for musculoskeletal disorders. A search for relevant studies on 29 April 2021 was carried out in Medline/PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science (WOS). The search terms included “telerehabilitation,” AND “satisfaction” AND “musculoskeletal disorders,” “telehealth,” “telemedicine,” “patient experience,” and “pain”. Fifteen eligible studies with 12,341 patients were included in this systematic review. A report was included if it (a) assessed the satisfaction of patients or professionals or both as one of the outcomes of a telerehabilitation intervention, (b) included adults 18 years and above with musculoskeletal disorders, and (c) is an intervention study using a quantitative approach. The quality of studies was assessed using the critical appraisal checklist tool developed by Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). Most of the studies reported that patients were satisfied with both telerehabilitation and face-to-face intervention. However, few studies reported that patients were more satisfied with telerehabilitation compared to face-to-face of intervention. Patients in one study had preferred the incorporation of telerehabilitation and face-to-face sessions. Two of three studies had reported overall satisfaction with telerehabilitation by the professionals. Overall, there is evidence that patients and rehabilitation professional are satisfied with telerehabilitation compared to face-to-face consultation.

“…If real organizational change is to occur, it is essential to focus on Kotter's second phase, engaging and enabling organizations by providing effective educational initiatives and communication to ensure the success of those providing virtual health care. It is also essential to discuss with patients their understanding and expectations of virtual care compared to in-person care to ensure they are realistic and to reduce potential barriers to future uptake ( Peterson, Young, King, & Meadows, 2022 ). Existing literature has identified multiple barriers to telerehabilitation and virtual physical therapy amongst physiotherapists spanning domains such as knowledge, skill, and comprehensiveness of examination ( Cox et al., 2021 ; Saaei & Klappa, 2021 ).…”
