Telemedicine has become an increasingly important component of musculoskeletal care, with recent advances in virtual physical examinations, enhanced patient education, and expanded access to treatment and telerehabilitation. Emerging applications of artificial intelligence, including virtual triaging and remote patient monitoring, promise to further augment telemedicine's effectiveness and scope. Despite limitations and a continued preference for in-person visits among some patients, telemedicine can be a valuable tool for musculoskeletal health practitioners, offering new ways to deliver high-quality, timely, and cost-effective care.
远程医疗已成为肌肉骨骼护理中日益重要的组成部分，在虚拟体格检查、加强患者教育以及扩大治疗和远程康复途径方面取得了最新进展。人工智能的新兴应用，包括虚拟分诊和远程患者监测，有望进一步提高远程医疗的有效性和范围。尽管存在局限性，且一些患者仍更倾向于面对面就诊，但远程医疗对于肌肉骨骼健康从业者而言可以是一种有价值的工具，为提供高质量、及时且具有成本效益的护理提供了新途径。
