Accuracy of Video-Based Joint Range of Motion Estimates Research
The Regis University School of Physical Therapy invites you to participate in research titled “Accuracy of Video-Based Joint Range of Motion Estimates”. The purpose of this research is to determine the accuracy of visual estimation of joint range of motion when assessed via video, as may be performed during Telehealth visits. We are seeking licensed physical therapists and physical therapist assistants, as well as students within these respective professional programs, to complete a 5-10-minute survey. Short video clips that are consistent with a Telehealth setting are used for visual estimation.

That's where APTA comes in. Click here for more information on the six-part telehealth certificate series from APTA. |
Pandemic-Driven Home Health Shifts Trigger Therapy Layoffs, Nursing Home Strategy Changes
Skilled Nursing News
By Lisa Gillespie | March 8, 2021
Lawmakers and policy experts have talked about a need to shift seniors from institutional to home settings for years, and the pandemic has dramatically forced the health care delivery system to do just that: Patients en masse are no longer going to skilled nursing facilities, and instead opting for home health care. The changes may end up being the new normal, leaving SNFs with sicker and sicker patients — and also some families with more limited options.
