In this Friday’s PCT Grand Rounds, Richard Skolasky and Kevin McLaughlin of Johns Hopkins University will present “Advancing Rural Back Pain Outcomes Using Rehabilitation Telehealth (ARBOR-Telehealth): Early Progress and Lessons Learned.”
The Grand Rounds session will be held on Friday, January 31, 2025, at 1:00 pm eastern.
ARBOR-Telehealth, an NIH Collaboratory Trial, is evaluating the use of a telehealth physical therapy strategy for patients who present to primary care clinics with low back pain in rural communities. A secondary aim of the study is to compare the effectiveness of the study’s risk-stratification approach. Learn more about ARBOR-Telehealth.
Skolasky is a professor of orthopaedic surgery and the director of the Spine Outcomes Research Center, and McLaughlin is an assistant professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation—both at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
