Abstract
The attitude toward telerehabilitation (TR) among therapists (191 physical therapists and 159 occupational therapists) in Korea was surveyed. The survey consisted of 15 questions in the following 8 domains: awareness(AW), attitude (AT), perceived usefulness (PU), perceived behavioral control (PBC), self-efficacy (SE), facilitating conditions (FC), barriers (B), and behavioral intention (BI). Therapists with experience in TR responded with higher scores in all domains except B, regardless of their specialty. The most perceived barriers to TR were unmatched insurance fees and a lack of technical support. Experience with TR was a major factor in attitude and behavior intention toward TR.
