On behalf of the American Telemedicine Association's (ATA) Telerehabilitation SIG I would like to extend a special invitation to American Physical Therapy Association members for our February webinar featuring a presentation by Michel Tousignant and Patrick Boissy. Our presenters will provide a human factors analysis of their recent teleAGE study, a randomized control trial comparing patient satisfaction, clinical outcome and cost effectiveness of telerehabilitation versus usual care physical therapy services following total knee arthroplasty. This will be an informative webinar on how to consider concepts related to implementing telerehabilitation services into practice. The presentation is timely as many physical therapists consider implementing technology successfully into patient care/physical therapy service line delivery models, that include both synchronous and asynchronous telehealth applications.

We have also extended an invitation to the Canadian Physiotherapy Association, Australian Physiotherapy Association, Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy and World Confederation of Physiotherapy. Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions. Attached is a flyer containing event details. We look forward to attendance from American Physical Therapy Association members and staff.

Best Regards,

Chris Peterson

Secretary ATA Telerehabilitation SIG
