■远程医疗直接物理治疗在门诊肌肉骨骼疼痛的管理中变得越来越普遍。这种创新的模式提供了更多的机会,以接触潜在的患者,否则将无法获得服务,由于地理隔离,旅行障碍,并及时获得优质护理。
■这项研究的目的是调查疼痛,函数,肌肉骨骼疼痛患者在直接接受远程健康物理治疗后,工作能力得到改善。
■从2021年3月至11月,实施了单队列回顾性设计,为肌肉骨骼疼痛患者提供远程健康物理治疗。符合条件的患者至少18岁,位于加州,有围产期盆腔功能障碍的病史,肌肉疼痛,关节痛,或神经症状。采用配对样本t检验和Wilcoxon符号秩检验对正态分布和非参数数据进行分析(α=0.05)。分别,比较前测和后测分数。
■根据89名参与者,配对样本t检验显示功能[t(87)=20.71,p<.0001]和疼痛[t(82)=-8.15,p<.0001]的统计学差异。Wilcoxon的符号秩检验显示,执行工作的能力存在统计学上的显着差异(Z=-7.345,p<0.0001)。
■这项研究表明,在一组多区域肌肉骨骼疼痛患者中,直接接受远程健康物理治疗后,疼痛减轻,功能和工作能力得到改善。
UNASSIGNED: Telehealth direct access physical therapy is becoming more prevalent in the management of outpatient musculoskeletal pain. This innovative model affords more opportunity to reach potential patients who otherwise would not be able to access services due to geographical isolation, travel barriers, and timely access to quality care.
UNASSIGNED: The purpose of the
study was to investigate if pain, function, and ability to perform jobs improved after direct access telehealth physical therapy in patients with musculoskeletal pain.
UNASSIGNED: A single cohort retrospective design was implemented to offer telehealth physical therapy to patients with musculoskeletal pain from March to November 2021. Eligible patients were at least 18 years old, located in California, and had a history of peripartum pelvic dysfunction, muscle pain, joint pain, or neural symptoms. Paired-samples t-tests and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used to analyze normally distributed and non-parametric data (α = 0.05), respectively, to compare pretest and post scores.
UNASSIGNED: Based on 89 participants, paired-samples t-tests showed statistically significant differences in function [t(87) = 20.71, p < .0001] and pain [t(82) = -8.15, p < .0001]. Wilcoxon\'s signed-rank test showed statistically significant differences in ability to perform job (Z = -7.345, p < .0001).
UNASSIGNED: This
study demonstrated that in a cohort of individuals with multiregional musculoskeletal pain, there was a decrease in pain and improvements in function and ability to perform job after direct access telehealth physical therapy.
