The COVID-19 pandemic forced the implementation of social distancing and circulation restrictions. This affected all aspects of society including health care. In the field of chronic neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD), teleneurology is employed in scenarios where face-to-face interactions are not possible. A growing number of clinicians and institutions are turning to teleneurology in order to providing medical care.
In this manuscript, we present a practical, 'how we do it in real life', example of a teleneurology appointment with a person with PD (PwP).
We elaborated a step-by-step approach of the main aspects of a consultation with a PwP and provide video illustration.
The key aspects of a teleneurology appointment were separated into: (1) In the office, before the appointment; (2) History taking; (3) Examination; and (4) Finishing up.
We discuss the strengths and weaknesses of this approach and provide our experience in overcoming commonly encountered difficulties.
COVID-19 大流行迫使实施社会隔离和流通限制。这影响了包括医疗保健在内的社会的各个方面。在慢性神经疾病领域，如帕金森病（PD），远程神经病学用于无法进行面对面交流的情况。越来越多的临床医生和机构正在转向远程神经病学以提供医疗服务。
在本文中，我们提出了一个实际的、“我们在现实生活中如何做”的例子，即与帕金森病患者（PwP）进行远程神经病学预约。
我们详细介绍了与 PwP 预约的主要方面的逐步方法，并提供了视频说明。
远程神经病学预约的关键方面分为：（1）在办公室，预约前；（2）病史；（3）检查；和（4）结束。
我们讨论了这种方法的优缺点，并提供了我们在克服常见困难方面的经验。
