In 2020, the CSP commissioned research into how big a role remote physiotherapy services will play in the future. Its findings were used to create guidance on how to best implement hybrid services
In response to the huge increase in remote physiotherapy delivery during the pandemic, the CSP commissioned a research team at the University of Manchester (UoM) to evaluate its impact for a wide range of patients and settings.
The project's aims were to capture learning about new models and ways of working alongside the evidence for digital rehabilitation before Covid-19. Its findings have helped us to:
- Share innovative approaches and new ways of working
- Learn which technologies have worked well in different contexts and where remote service delivery is less effective
- Provide recommendations for successful implementation and examples of good rehabilitation service models
