Telehealth: Performing a Virtual Objective Exam

Course overview

This course will introduce clinicians to best practices for performing a telehealth objective exam. Telehealth continues to be a widely used patient care model, and there are many differences in performing an objective exam during a telehealth visit when compared to an in-person visit. Most notably, the absence of the ability to perform manual assessments poses a challenge for obtaining accurate tests and measures remotely. This course addresses this challenge by providing alternate strategies for physical tests and measures that clinicians can apply directly to their practice in a telehealth model. This course will cover how to structure the objective exam as well as how to assess posture, movement, mobility, muscle performance, and a variety of other tests and measures during a telehealth visit.
