HSS Rehabilitation Telehealth Evaluation Guidelines for Musculoskeletal Physical Therapy

Available now on Amazon. Providing care through telehealth requires a different set of skills that highlights therapists use of strong subjective questioning, a sound understanding of kinematics and movement patterns, and a systematic process that can differential diagnosis, treat, or refer as needed. It is challenging to conduct a thorough and objective telehealth evaluation due to the therapist’s inability to be hands on and provide tactile cues.

These guidelines were developed by physical therapists at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS), the world's leading academic medical center focused on musculoskeletal health, and are designed to facilitate and establish best practices.
