Abstract

COVID-19 provided an opportunity to determine the effectiveness of telehealth physical therapy as part of a pro bono gait balance and mobility clinic. The aim of this case study is 2-folds-(1) to provide evidence for clinicians on telehealth physical therapy implementation while using mobile health platform and remote patient monitoring for a community-dwelling older adult with gait and balance disorder and (2) to provide evidence for clinical educators on telehealth-based teaching strategies to implement virtual clinical education for treating geriatric patient population. It is also important to note that this telehealth clinic model may be applicable outside of this patient population as well.
