Further research is required to explore the service and clinical outcomes of telehealth in occupational therapy hand and upper limb practice. This research utilized a case-control study to explore the feasibility and clinical outcomes of case matched patients who received a telehealth hybrid model versus traditional in-person care. One hundred and two patients were recruited (n=51 in the controls and cases) with a mean age of 45 years. Telehealth was not inferior to standard care with no significant increase in therapy time (p=0.441) or length of referral (p=0.047). There was no difference in clinical adverse events (p=0.741). Patients who received telehealth had significantly less withdrawals from the service (p = 0.031). Patient and therapist satisfaction were high, supporting the ongoing use and continued implementation of telehealth in occupational therapy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5195\/ijt.2022.6505","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,13]],"date-time":"2022-12-13T16:01:28Z","timestamp":1670947288000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Does the Integration of Telehealth into Occupational Therapy Practice Impact Clinical Outcomes for Hand and Upper Limb Rehabilitation?
