To determine if physiotherapy outcomes differ in children with concussion treated in-clinic versus virtually.
✦ Clinical Takeaway ✦
With only 23 participants, this study is too underpowered to reliably confirm equivalence between in-person and telehealth concussion physiotherapy; clinicians should treat results as hypothesis-generating rather than practice-changing.
✦ Why It Matters ✦
Telehealth delivery of vestibular and concussion rehabilitation is a growing area of interest for audiologists and balance specialists, and preliminary equivalence data support further investigation.
✦ Key Points ✦
- 01Study compared in-person vs. telehealth physiotherapy outcomes in 23 children with concussion.
- 02Outcomes were similar between delivery modes, suggesting telehealth may be a viable option.
