Description
As part of measures to contain the Covid-19 pandemic in Switzerland, non-urgent physiotherapy with physical contact was banned in spring 2020. In other countries, similar regulations pushed the digitalisation of physiotherapy and telephysiotherapy has established itself as an adequate therapy alternative. This project, based on an online survey, aims to investigate the therapists' and patients' perceptions and use of remote, digital physiotherapy.
