Abstract：
Telepractice is used to conduct many aspects of healthcare, including rehabilitation and research. However, information regarding how to identify optimal candidates and overcome barriers to participating in telepractice are limited. In the context of aphasia rehabilitation research, we developed two tools for optimizing telepractice: (1) the Participant Technology Questionnaire (PTQ), an aphasia-friendly tool for gathering information about potential telepractice participants; and (2) the Virtual-Appropriate Decision Approach (VADA), a framework for assessing and modifying methods that support virtual activities. The PTQ provides valuable information about the effects of human, technology and setting influences that may impact the success of transitioning activities to a virtual format, while the VADA takes findings from the PTQ one step further into application. The PTQ and the VADA can help researchers and clinicians with planning and directing virtual engagement, and both tools have potential to be applied broadly in all areas of telepractice.

远程实践用于进行医疗保健的许多方面，包括康复和研究。然而,关于如何确定最佳候选人和克服参与远程实践的障碍的信息是有限的。在失语症康复研究的背景下，我们开发了两个优化远程实践的工具：(1)参与者技术问卷(PTQ)，一种失语症友好的工具，用于收集有关潜在远程练习参与者的信息；和（2）虚拟适当的决策方法（VADA），评估和修改支持虚拟活动的方法的框架。PTQ提供了有关人类影响的有价值的信息，技术和设置影响可能会影响将活动过渡到虚拟格式的成功，而VADA将PTQ的发现进一步应用。PTQ和VADA可以帮助研究人员和临床医生规划和指导虚拟参与，这两种工具都有可能广泛应用于远程练习的所有领域。
