Watching a seasoned telehealth therapist in action is a great way to find out what telehealth looks like and how it works in the real world. In this 1-hour course, Dr. Todd Norwood PT, DPT, OCS, SCS takes you through a complete follow up visit with two real life patients that he saw a week earlier for knee and calf pain. Both patients made significant improvements from their initial visit. The 76-year-old woman with knee osteoarthritis was sure that she needed surgery before her telehealth visits, but now she is thrilled to return to her old life and to take up bike riding again. You will also observe how the 26-year-old gentleman with calf pain is now beginning to return to basketball. Dr. Norwood demonstrates interim evaluation skills and tests and patient monitoring that will help you work in the telehealth setting.
What participants are saying . . .“It was very helpful to observe full sessions from start to finish to better understand how efficiently and effectively to assess and treat patients in the telehealth setting. Also found it helpful to hear from the therapist about the thought process that guided him while working with these patients.”
“This is a very helpful and practical way to learn how to implement telehealth and incorporate it in practice.”
“I learned how to focus on specific movement pattern without being physically present in the room with a patient.”
“Fascinating to see that both patients’ injuries warranted PT assessment and treatment, and both were showing improvement.”
