“…Telehealth offered greater flexibility and increased availability of treatment during a pandemic emergency. Qualitative reports have supported this observation ( Knapp et al, 2023 ). For families seeking specialized care that may live far from a metropolitan area, the cost and time required for travel involved with daily CIMT intervention can impact an entire family.…”

“…While telehealth utilization has recently increased, there is currently limited evidence describing these programs in pediatric rehabilitation ( Onal et al, 2021 ; Pietruszewski et al, 2020 ; Shierk et al, 2021 ). A systematic review by Knapp et al (2023) identified a need for research in telehealth delivery models and efficacy of various models to ensure evidence-based clinical practice. This review reported that available evidence was limited to mostly qualitative research to date ( Knapp et al, 2023 ).…”

This review reported that available evidence was limited to mostly qualitative research to date ( Knapp et al, 2023 ). Despite the small body of evidence, studies exploring the feasibility of telehealth home programs and effectiveness of parent coaching models in rehabilitation have demonstrated positive patient and caregiver feedback ( Beckers et al, 2020 ; Verhaegh et al, 2022 ).…”

Constraint induced movement therapy is an established, evidence-based intervention for children with hemiplegia. This case series describes the feasibility and clinical opportunities of using a hybrid telehealth and onsite model to deliver pediatric constraint induced movement therapy during the COVID-19 pandemic. These cases support that a hybrid model had a similar effect on upper extremity improvement compared to a traditional, in-person model and may be an option when access to in-person care is not available.

Introduction The actions adopted with the purpose of avoiding community infections, during the COVID-19 pandemic, meant an occupational interruption since these measures prevented or restricted the participation in significant occupations of people. At the same time, the different health institutions and health professionals had to resort to telehealth to provide continuity of care. Objective To analyze from an occupational perspective the use of telehealth in Occupational Therapy in confinement contexts. Methodology Qualitative. Information is produced through focus groups and individual interviews. 9 students, 10 teachers, 5 users and/or family members and 5 members of the care teams participate in this study. An analysis of the thematic content is carried out through the triangulation of actors to integrate the opinions of all the participants, later in order to deepen the use of telehealth from an occupational perspective, theoretical triangulation is included. Results Telehealth as an occupation materializes the possibility of having socio-emotional support and allows collaboration in search of well-being in times of social isolation. It is also an occupation that allowed recognizing the home as a territory, in which the appropriation of material and relational resources occurs in a collaborative way between the treatment team and the users. Conclusions Telehealth is a collective occupation that allows re-existence in times of occupational interruption and new forms of occupational dislocation.

Resumen Introducción Las acciones adoptadas con el propósito de evitar los contagios comunitarios, durante la pandemia por COVID-19, significó una interrupción ocupacional ya que estas medidas impidieron o restringieron la participación en ocupaciones significativas de las personas. Al mismo tiempo, las distintas instituciones sanitarias y los profesionales del área de la salud tuvieron que acudir a la telesalud para dar continuidad a la atención y cuidados. Objetivo Analizar desde una perspectiva ocupacional el uso de la telesalud en Terapia Ocupacional en contextos de confinamiento. Metodología De tipo cualitativa. La información se produce a través de grupos de discusión y entrevistas individuales. Participaron de este estudio 9 estudiantes, 10 docentes, 5 usuarios/as y/o familiares y 5 integrantes de los equipos de atención. Se realizó un análisis del contenido temático a través de la triangulación de actores para integrar las opiniones de todos/as los/as participantes, posteriormente con el fin de profundizar desde una perspectiva ocupacional el uso de la telesalud se incluye la triangulación teórica. Resultados La telesalud como ocupación materializa la posibilidad de contar con apoyo socioemocional y permite la colaboración en busca del bienestar en tiempos de aislamiento social. También es una ocupación que permitió reconocer el hogar como un territorio, en el que se produce la apropiación de recursos materiales y relacionales de una manera colaborativa entre el equipo tratante y los/as usuarios/as. Conclusiones La telesalud es una ocupación colectiva que permite la re-existencia en tiempos de interrupción ocupacional y de nuevas formas de dislocación ocupacional.
