Summary

The use of telemedicine in musculoskeletal assessment has been historically low. The current COVID 19 global pandemic has forced a paradigm shift with many centers rapidly adopting virtual visits to conduct care resulting in rapid expansion of use of telemedicine amongst practices. Mayoclinic has published The Telemedicine Musculoskeletal Examination for adults. Paediatric Musculoskeletal Matters (PMM) has put video Pediatric Gait, Arms, Legs and Spine (V-pGALS) assessment sheet on their website. However, there is a lack of the acceptability and reliability of these tools. The aim of this study is to investigate acceptability and reliability of real-time virtual video Pediatric Gait, Arms, Legs and Spine (V-pGALS) assessment for musculoskeletal assessment of children for telemedicine visits.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

video Pediatric Gait, Arms, Legs and Spine (V-pGALS)

The Video-pGALS includes maneuvers from pediatric regional examination of the musculoskeletal system (pREMS) and derived from the pediatric gait arms legs spine examination assessment which is a validated simple basic musculoskeletal (MSK) examination for children. V-pGALS offers a structured approach to a cursory overview MSK exam with a focus on range of movement and symmetry. Utilizing the parent or caregiver to feel the joint in question for obvious warmth/ swelling or to palpate for point of maximal tenderness can add important information.
