Summary

Injuries remain the most frequent cause of mortality in children and young people. Studies with: telephysiotherapy programmes have published results of effectiveness, validity, non-inferiority and important advantages, providing an opportunity to define new health and social intervention policies.

In rural regions such as Anantapur, there are few physiotherapists compared to the potential need; innovative strategies are needed to improve access to more specialised physiotherapy care. There is also a significant paucity of studies in low resources geographies, making this research highly justified.

This research is a quasi-experimental multicentre pre-post intervention pilot study in a population aged 5-16 years with a diagnosis of lower limb fracture in Anantapur (India).

The main objective is to assess the feasibility and efficacy of using a 4-week personalised telephone therapy programme, as well as adherence, identify barriers to use and satisfaction with the intervention.

Subjects will receive a baseline assessment (T0-pre) obtaining data on Physical Function (TUG), Functional Independence (FIM), Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and Quality of Life (ISF-12). At the end of the intervention (T1-post) a new evaluation of the outcome variables will be carried out by adding data on adherence, barriers to use and satisfaction (ad hoc questionnaire and TSQ).

This research should provide insights into the possibility of implementing telephone therapy programmes in hospital settings in low resources areas.
