This individualized approach must account for each woman's medical history and weigh the benefits and risks of ET in combination with the personal values of the patient.This article discusses the use of physical and biometric sensors in telerehabilitation. It also discusses synchronous tele-physical assessment using haptics and augmented reality and asynchronous physical assessment using remote pose estimation. The article additionally focuses on computational models that have the potential to monitor and evaluate changes in kinematic and kinetic properties during telerehabilitation using biometric sensors such as electromyography and other wearable and noncontact sensors based on force and speed. And finally, the article discusses how virtual reality environments can be facilitated in telerehabilitation.As a result of the COVID-19 public health emergency, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services expanded its telehealth benefit on a temporary and emergency basis. Effective March 6, 2020, Medicare will pay for Medicare telehealth services at the same rate as regular, in-person visits. Medicare has prescribed specific guidance on the billing and coding of such services, having an impact on reimbursement for qualified providers. Additional guidance also exists on acceptable telehealth communication platforms and patient privacy.Telerehabilitation is now a mainstay in health care delivery, with recent trends pointed to continued expansion in the future. Physical therapy (PT) being provided via telehealth, also known as virtual PT, has been demonstrated to provide functional improvements and satisfaction for the consumer and provider, and is applicable in various physical therapy treatment diagnostic areas. Research and technology enhancements will continue to offer new and innovative means to provide physical therapy. This article further provides points to make virtual PT successful and highlights some recommended equipment and outcome recommendations. The future is bright for providing virtual PT.With the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States in March 2020, most ambulatory care environments rapidly pivoted to extensive use to telehealth to protect patients and providers while continuing to provide care. This shift resulted in the expansion of telehealth platforms and workflows. Many behavioral health services can be provided in a telehealth format. The case example in this article illustrates that transition to telehealth is feasible and sustainable. Limitations include preoperative psychological assessments and certain neuropsychological tests requiring material manipulation. Careful consideration of risk factors should be exerted for more vulnerable patient populations.Complementary and integrative health (CIH) modalities have therapeutic value in the multidisciplinary rehabilitation of chronic pain patients. Evidence of such has been seen with the Whole Health Model at the (Veterans Affairs) VA Healthcare system. CIH therapies, including yoga, tai chi, mindfulness meditation, hypnosis, self-massage, and acupressure, are significantly effective for managing chronic pain with little to no negative effects, and can be easily incorporated into telemedicine care with great potential benefit. The future of wellness in telemedicine is evolving with great potential, and needs further attention to addressing barriers of care.Headache is one of the most disabling conditions in the world. Despite plentiful evidence supporting rehabilitation strategies, headache is significantly underassessed and undertreated. Obstacles to headache care include lack of available expertise in headache management, few available resources for effective assessment and treatment, and cost and disability that preclude treatment seeking in patients with headache. Telerehabilitation can allow providers to access expert consultation and gives patients easier access to assessment and treatment. Adenosine Receptor agonist This article covers existing telerehabilitation options for headache management and explores the strength of evidence supporting these approaches. Risks of telerehabilitation and recommendations for future development are discussed.Telerehabilitation for pain management uses communication technology to minimize geographic barriers. Access to such technology has proven critically important during the coronavirus disease-2019 pandemic and has been useful for patients with chronic pain disorders unable to travel. The evaluation and treatment of such disorders requires a whole health approach that individualizes treatment options and delivers care through a biopsychosocial approach. The goals of care are unchanged from an in-person patient-provider experience. Telerehabilitation can be successfully implemented in pain management with appropriate consideration for staging an evaluation, a structured approach to the visit, and application of standard clinical metrics.Telehealth visits result in high-quality care, with high patient and provider satisfaction. Strong evidence suggests that virtual physical therapy is noninferior to conventional face-to-face physical therapy for a variety of musculoskeletal disorders. Postoperative telerehabilitation has a strong positive effect on clinical outcomes, and the increased intensity telerehabilitation programs offer is a promising option for patients. Studies demonstrate effective virtual postoperative management. The novel coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has led to improved reimbursement for telehealth visits and accelerated widespread implementation of telemedicine. This article establishes experience and evidence-based practice guidelines for conducting telemedicine visits, with emphasis on the virtual physical examination.Pediatric rehabilitation focuses on optimizing function and quality of life of children through a holistic and transdisciplinary patient-centered team approach. This article describes the incorporation of telehealth in pediatric rehabilitation and its growth over the past decade. It also reviews the experience of practitioners using telehealth by necessity during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. Evidence suggests many applications where telehealth can appropriately substitute for traditional in-person visits, and there are many potential applications of telehealth to be explored as a means to enhance connectivity of the interdisciplinary rehabilitation team and the outreach to patients in remote and underserved areas.
