Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic led to a rise in the use of telerehabilitation, which helps pediatric patients access necessary rehabilitation services remotely due to social distancing measures.
- Many pediatric patients struggle with telerehabilitation because they rely on caregivers for decision-making, and negative perceptions from those caregivers can hinder service utilization.
- This study aimed to assess caregivers' attitudes and willingness to engage in telerehabilitation for their children receiving outpatient care in a developing country, using a carefully designed survey to gather data.

Objective: To determine the PRM residents' ability to achieve competencies through telerehabilitation, as perceived by different stakeholders (residents, chief residents, training officers, and department heads).
