A survey based investigation into the figure of the digital physiotherapist in the COVID-19 era

Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic is proposing new models of care. The digital rehabilitation therapy used in remote rehabilitation, already used in the past, has been pushed forward. We focused on the physiotherapist and we had the idea of submitting a survey that would allow us to investigate: (I) the opinion of the physiotherapist who has already graduated and is undergoing training to be part of this new process of digitization of care; and (II) his or her perception of the degree of preparation in terms of training received to get an idea of preparedness.
