The contexts of intervention in telerehabilitation
During an initial telephone interview with the physiotherapist, he will determine if a remote assessment service is appropriate. A home assessment may be recommended following this call. For certain conditions assessed at home, a remote follow-up may be offered.
These key conditions include:
Advice on the risk of falling :
this service is mainly intended for seniors or those with reduced mobility. The physiotherapist can analyze the elements of the home and the environment that may increase the risk of falling. The interventions of our physiotherapists aim to minimize these risks through personalized advice adapted to the individual’s situation.Follow-up of physiotherapy exercise programs :
this type of follow-up can be done and adapted remotely according to the objectives of the physiotherapy rehabilitation (strengthening, stability, balance, etc.). This allows for progression or maintenance of skills.Pain management education :
Physiotherapists can intervene in acute or chronic pain management. Advice can also be offered on controlling the sources of pain and managing it through habit correction and exercise.Tips to help control edema :
The physiotherapist can offer advice on reducing edema, regardless of the condition to which it is related (trauma, surgery, etc.).
Services offered through telerehabilitation are provided by a member of the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec.
