Telerehabilitation is increasingly used in health systems around the world as a tool to reach patients in remote areas and expand the coverage of interventions such as physical therapy. Physical therapists communicate with patients to prevent, treat, and rehabilitate disorders. Telerehabilitation is a branch of telehealth, comprising a system that uses telecommunications technology to control or monitor remote rehabilitation. Tele-rehabilitation programs use technology to communicate with patients and professionals who are located far away. Tele-Physio-Therapy (TPT) makes use of networking tools to help patients receive physiotherapy in the comfort of their own homes, either via audio or video calls. TPT offers a number of recovery and rehabilitation programs in clinics.

Increasing launches of physical therapy telerehabilitation solutions by the key market players are expected to drive the U.S. physical therapy virtual and telerehabilitation market growth during the forecast period.
