Remote therapeutic monitoring is defined by the data it tracks, not a fixed list of diagnoses. Here are the conditions and scenarios where RTM delivers the most value for PT and OT clinics.
RTM is therapy-driven, not condition-limited
RTM applies whenever a patient follows a home program between visits and their adherence and progress can be monitored remotely. That makes it broadly useful across rehab.
Common RTM use cases in rehab
- Post-surgical recovery (e.g., joint replacement, ACL, rotator cuff)
- Chronic musculoskeletal and low-back pain
- Balance, mobility, and fall-risk programs
- Neurological rehabilitation
- Hand therapy and upper-extremity rehab — see RTM for occupational therapy
- Any plan of care where home-exercise adherence drives outcomes
What RTM data covers
For rehab clinics RTM centers on musculoskeletal status and home-exercise adherence; it also includes respiratory monitoring in some programs. Learn how Medicare covers RTM.
Choosing patients to enroll
Start with patients on a home program who benefit from between-visit accountability — post-op, chronic-pain, and adherence-challenged patients are ideal. Read the RTM FAQ for more.
