Abstract

Scope: The rapid transition to telehealth following the COVID-19 pandemic raised challenges for remote delivery of physical therapy. One challenge was identifying outcome measures for people with Parkinson Disease (PwP) that could safely be conducted via telehealth. This paper evaluates the feasibility of a telehealth physical therapy examination battery for PwP in early to middle stage of disease progression. Methodology: We reviewed recommended outcome measures from the American Physical Therapy Association’s Academy of Neurologic Physical Therapy (ANPT) Parkinson Evidence Database to Guide Effectiveness (EDGE) document and evaluated their appropriateness for remote administration. A clinical decision tree was created to streamline the examination process, incorporating elements of the ANPT movement analysis of tasks as a movement screen. The examination battery was then conducted on three PwP and evaluated for safety and feasibility. Conclusion: This physical therapy telehealth examination battery provides physical therapists with a method to conduct safe and efficient remote assessments for PwP.
为帕金森病患者开发物理治疗远程保健检查数据库
范围:COVID-19 大流行后,远程医疗的快速过渡给远程提供物理治疗带来了挑战。其中一项挑战是为帕金森病患者(PwP)确定可通过远程保健安全进行的结果测量。本文评估了针对帕金森病早中期患者的远程物理治疗检查电池的可行性。方法:我们回顾了美国物理治疗协会神经物理治疗学会(ANPT)帕金森病证据数据库指导有效性(EDGE)文件中推荐的结果测量方法,并评估了这些方法是否适合远程管理。为了简化检查流程,我们创建了一个临床决策树,并将 ANPT 任务运动分析的元素作为运动筛查纳入其中。然后对三名残疾人进行了检查,并对其安全性和可行性进行了评估。结论这种物理治疗远程保健检查电池为物理治疗师提供了一种对残疾人进行安全、高效的远程评估的方法。
