Tele-rehabilitation (TR) is a means of delivering physical rehabilitation services at a distance from patients, thereby improving patient access to care. While patients tend to view TR favorably, clinicians are often more reluctant to use this approach. This course will provide organizations and clinicians a model to improve adoption of TR within the field of physical therapy.
