Abstract
Background: Telehealth includes multiple interfaces for delivering virtual healthcare services. Demand for telehealth is increasing due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We examined evidence comparing management of musculoskeletal conditions via in-person vs. telehealth physical therapy to investigate comparable outcomes between the modes of delivery. Methods: A SLR review was conducted using OVID, Google Scholar, Medline, PEDro, and OpenGrey. Results: Eighteen articles met inclusion criteria. Preliminary findings suggest no difference in outcomes between the modalities of care. Discussion: Based on preliminary results, evidence suggests both modalities could be implemented to provide adequate care and telehealth could create opportunities for cost savings.
