AIMS: This pilot study provides preliminary insights into pediatric physical therapist (PT) current use and perceived value of telerehabilitation services, identifying key barriers and benefits associated with its implementation.
METHODS: An electronic survey was sent to pediatric physical therapy clinical sites from three universities. Multiple-choice and open-ended questions focused on PT use and perception of telerehabilitation, patient characteristics, interventions and assessments utilized, and perceived barriers and benefits.
RESULTS: Data from 68 surveys were analyzed. Pediatric PTs reported an average of 15.5 years (SD = 10.5) of practice experience. Since the conclusion of the COVID-19 pandemic, 42 participants (61.8%) indicated they have continued to provide telerehabilitation services. There was a small-to-moderate positive association between value of delivering telehealth and the frequency of delivering pediatric physical therapy via telehealth (rs=0.29, p = 0.015). Perceived barriers included socioeconomic, child/caregiver engagement, child characteristics, administrative barriers, and limited hands-on care/reduced clinical effectiveness. Perceived benefits included increased access to services, family empowerment, opportunity for home programming, opportunity for continued services, and family involvement/engagement.
CONCLUSIONS: Study findings in this small sample support the perceived value of telerehabilitation as a pediatric physical therapy service delivery model and highlight the ongoing need for its continued use.
