Kevin McLaughlin, DPT, introduces the ARBOR Telehealth Study, a groundbreaking initiative focused on improving access to physical therapy for patients with chronic low back pain in rural communities. This video highlights how telerehabilitation, accelerated by COVID-19 policy changes, may address the shortage of physical therapists in these areas. Conducted in partnership with TidalHealth, the ARBOR study aims to enroll over 400 patients on Maryland’s Eastern Shore to assess the effectiveness of virtual physical therapy and its potential to reduce pain and opioid use. #telehealth #johnshopkins #chronicbackpain https://www.arbor-telehealth.com/
