Telerehabilitation in Physical Therapist Practice: A Clinical Practice Guideline From the American Physical Therapy Association
Overview

Each recommendation includes potential benefits, harms, and cost of implementation. In addition, the guideline identifies areas where additional research is needed. The guideline development group included representatives from several APTA academies, international physiotherapists, a physiatrist, and a consumer representative.
