The purposes of this study are to compare the impact of a hybrid of telehealth and in-person physical therapy services to in-person services alone on the in-home functional skills of children with moderate to severe disability. This is a mixed methods study.
The purposes of this study are to compare the impact of a hybrid of telehealth and in-person physical therapy services to in-person services alone on the in-home functional skills of children with moderate to severe disability. Research questions include:
Is a hybrid of telehealth and in-person physical therapy service better than in-person services alone for improving in-home functional skills in children with moderate to severe disability?
Is there a difference in the satisfaction of caregivers and children with physical therapy services which consist of a hybrid of telehealth and in-person physical therapy services compared to in-person services alone?
What is the experience of children and caregivers who receive a hybrid of telehealth and in-person physical therapy services during an episode of care?
