Abstract

Background and purpose: To our knowledge, there is currently no research on telerehabilitation concerning artists. This study aims to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of utilizing video-based telerehabilitation in physiotherapy among artists during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: Fifty-one artists who accessed virtual physiotherapy between November 2020 and February 2022 at a healthcare center that provides specialized healthcare services to artists of all disciplines who reside or work in Ontario, Canada were asked to complete a 26-item online questionnaire about their experience with virtual physiotherapy.

Results: The 51 respondents were from a range of artistic disciplines, with the largest portion being musicians (n = 22; 43%). Of the respondents, 86% (n = 44) felt the virtual physiotherapy met their expectations in therapeutic benefits, 78% (n = 40) were confident in performing all the exercises that the physiotherapist demonstrated on the virtual platform, 80% (n = 41) did not run into many technological challenges when booking or attending virtual sessions, and 54% (n = 20) reported similar treatment outcomes between virtual and in-person sessions. Although artists liked the convenience of accessing physiotherapy from home, 53% (n = 17) of respondents rated the lack of physical contact as a major limitation in telerehabilitation.

Conclusion: Telerehabilitation for artists during the COVID-19 pandemic has shown potential to be an effective and viable alternative to in-person physiotherapy, as demonstrated by high satisfaction levels and comparable treatment outcomes, especially when public health restrictions were in place. Future research can explore hybrid models (mix of in-person and virtual sessions) in physiotherapy to meet the needs for physical contact during sessions.

在 COVID-19 大流行期间，艺术家对物理治疗中远程康复的满意度：横断面研究。

背景和目的：据我们所知，目前还没有关于艺术家远程康复的研究。本研究旨在评估在 COVID-19 大流行期间在艺术家中使用视频远程康复理疗的可行性、可接受性和有效性：在 2020 年 11 月至 2022 年 2 月期间，51 名艺术家在一家医疗保健中心接受了虚拟物理治疗，该中心为居住或工作在加拿大安大略省的各学科艺术家提供专门的医疗保健服务：结果：51 位受访者来自不同的艺术领域，其中最多的是音乐家（22 人，占 43%）。在受访者中，86%（n = 44）的人认为虚拟物理治疗在治疗效果上达到了他们的预期，78%（n = 40）的人有信心完成物理治疗师在虚拟平台上演示的所有练习，80%（n = 41）的人在预订或参加虚拟疗程时没有遇到很多技术挑战，54%（n = 20）的人表示虚拟疗程和现场疗程的治疗效果相似。虽然艺术家们喜欢在家接受物理治疗的便利性，但53%（n = 17）的受访者认为缺乏身体接触是远程康复的主要限制因素：结论：在 COVID-19 大流行期间，为艺术家提供的远程康复服务已显示出有潜力成为一种有效且可行的替代现场物理治疗的方法，这体现在较高的满意度和可比的治疗效果上，尤其是在公共卫生受到限制的情况下。未来的研究可以探索物理治疗中的混合模式（面对面治疗与虚拟治疗相结合），以满足治疗过程中身体接触的需求。

期刊介绍： Physiotherapy Research International is an international peer reviewed journal dedicated to the exchange of knowledge that is directly relevant to specialist areas of physiotherapy theory, practice, and research. Our aim is to promote a high level of scholarship and build on the current evidence base to inform the advancement of the physiotherapy profession. We publish original research on a wide range of topics e.g. Primary research testing new physiotherapy treatments; methodological research; measurement and outcome research and qualitative research of interest to researchers, clinicians and educators. Further, we aim to publish high quality papers that represent the range of cultures and settings where physiotherapy services are delivered. We attract a wide readership from physiotherapists and others working in diverse clinical and academic settings. We aim to promote an international debate amongst the profession about current best evidence based practice. Papers are directed primarily towards the physiotherapy profession, but can be relevant to a wide range of professional groups. The growth of interdisciplinary research is also key to our aims and scope, and we encourage relevant submissions from other professional groups. The journal actively encourages submissions which utilise a breadth of different methodologies and research designs to facilitate addressing key questions related to the physiotherapy practice. PRI seeks to encourage good quality topical debates on a range of relevant issues and promote critical reflection on decision making and implementation of physiotherapy interventions.
