With the COVID-19 pandemic, the adoption of telerehabilitation has rapidly increased to improve access and minimize cross-infection risk to patients. Nevertheless, Filipino pediatric physical therapists (PTs) must ensure that they conduct evidence-based procedures for specific tests and measures to determine patient outcomes. This investigation reported the most common pediatric outcome measurement tools (OMTs) used in telerehabilitation by Filipino pediatric PTs treating 0 to 21-year-olds in the Philippines. Validation and pilot testing of an adapted questionnaire on OMT usage was undertaken before dissemination via email and social media. Pediatric PTs reported that the commonly used OMTs in telerehabilitation are Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) (100%)-including both versions of GMFM-88 and GMFM-66 followed by Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) (30%). These findings support the use of feasible OMTs in pediatric telerehabilitation due to their applicability in the online setting.
随着新冠疫情的爆发,远程康复的应用迅速增加,以改善患者的就医机会并将交叉感染风险降至最低。尽管如此,菲律宾的儿科物理治疗师必须确保他们针对特定测试和测量采用循证程序,以确定患者的治疗效果。本调查报道了菲律宾治疗0至21岁儿童的儿科物理治疗师在远程康复中使用的最常见的儿科治疗效果测量工具(OMT)。在通过电子邮件和社交媒体传播之前,对一份关于OMT使用情况的改编问卷进行了验证和预测试。儿科物理治疗师报告称,远程康复中常用的OMT是粗大运动功能测量(GMFM)(100%),包括GMFM-88和GMFM-66两个版本,其次是儿科平衡量表(PBS)(30%)。这些发现支持在儿科远程康复中使用可行的OMT,因为它们适用于在线环境。
