Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The use of telemedicine in musculoskeletal assessment has been historically low. The current COVID 19 global pandemic has forced a paradigm shift with many centers rapidly adopting virtual visits to conduct care resulting in rapid expansion of use of telemedicine amongst practices. Mayoclinic has published The Telemedicine Musculoskeletal Examination for adults. Paediatric Musculoskeletal Matters (PMM) has put video Pediatric Gait, Arms, Legs and Spine (V-pGALS) assessment sheet on their website. However, there is a lack of the acceptability and reliability of these tools. The aim of this study is to investigate acceptability and reliability of real-time virtual video Pediatric Gait, Arms, Legs and Spine (V-pGALS) assessment for musculoskeletal assessment of children for telemedicine visits.
