Abstract

As the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic spread, many physiotherapists chose telerehabilitation (TR) to continue delivering therapy. This study was conducted to document the perceived benefits and challenges of TR faced by pediatric physiotherapists in western and southern India. Using the snowball method, electronic survey forms were distributed to 275 pediatric physiotherapists in Western and Southern India; 110 responses were available for analysis. A majority of respondents had experience with TR (n=83, 75.5%), while others had never used TR (n=27, 24.5%). TR was reported to be less effective than in-person therapy for treating children and adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therapists reported significant difficulties during TR sessions; these included assessing and modifying exercises for children. As the popularity of TR grows, pediatric physiotherapists will need to be aware of the benefits and challenges they will face during TR sessions. Most pediatric physiotherapists believed the interaction between parents and therapists is a requisite for optimal service delivery.

在印度西部和南部的COVID-19大流行期间,儿科物理治疗师使用远程康复的好处和挑战:一项横断面调查
随着全球COVID-19大流行的蔓延,许多物理治疗师选择远程康复(TR)继续提供治疗。本研究旨在记录印度西部和南部儿科物理治疗师所面临的TR的益处和挑战。采用滚雪球法,向印度西部和南部的275名儿科物理治疗师分发了电子调查表;110份回复可供分析。大多数受访者有过TR的经验(n=83, 75.5%),而其他人从未使用过TR (n=27, 24.5%)。据报道,在COVID-19大流行期间,TR治疗儿童和青少年的效果不如面对面治疗。治疗师报告说,在TR会议期间存在重大困难;其中包括评估和修改儿童练习。随着TR的普及,儿科物理治疗师需要意识到他们在TR过程中所面临的好处和挑战。大多数儿科物理治疗师认为家长和治疗师之间的互动是提供最佳服务的必要条件。
