Abstract

Remote care is an effective treatment method for vulnerable elderly people and after surgery and an option to continue to follow a program frequently. This also applies if home treatment is temporarily not possible due to COVID-19. Together with partners from (para)medical healthcare and programs aimed at care, Manual-Fysiocare has developed a multidisciplinary online rehabilitation program: physiotherapy/occupational therapy, psychology and dietetics tailored to your needs and can be carried out remotely. To overcome the limited knowledge of digital resources, Manual-Fysiocare also wants to support this, because care must always be possible, even at home treatment is not possible. To ensure that the treatment is safe, a caregiver or informal caregiver is present during the initial phase and during the physiotherapy exercises. In the short term, we want to develop e-learning and communication material about the software and the program for greater support and a greater reach.
