Abstract
Purpose:
This program was instituted to extend physiotherapy services to communities without road access to traditional rehabilitation services.
Methods:
Physiotherapy consulting services are provided on a monthly basis to communities involved in the program. Service is based in the communities' nursing stations and includes four components: direct care to clients, preventive care, professional resources, and education.
Results:
Physiotherapy services can be effectively provided in isolated settings by an outreach program using experienced therapists based in a central location.
