Study summary

Being the most important stakeholder of such a vulnerable population, the neuro physiotherapist faced a lot of difficulties while consulting and assessing patients with neurological impairments. Up to our knowledge and search history, this is the first-ever study conducted by us which list out the challenges faced by neuro physiotherapist while teleconsultation mode among Indian population.

Read the detailed description

During the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic many Neurophysiotherapist opted for telerehabilitation to provide rehabilitation to the patients. This study aims to find out challenges faced by Neurophysiotherapist (NeuroPT) for consultation through telerehabilitation within Maharashtra provenance. A total of 103 NeuroPT within Maharashtra provenance were contacted through this online survey. A brief, structured and validated questionnaire was constructed as there is no gold standard questionnaire developed to obtain responses from the neuro physiotherapists opting for telerehabilitation mode for their consultations with their clients. The questionnaire was sent by What's app and email to gather basic information to describe the various challenges in consultation through telerehabilitation.
