Between Remote Physical Therapy Appointments: A Workable Video Loop

Remote appointments can make the between-session workflow more explicit. A practitioner may ask for a small number of movement clips, but the participant still has to frame, record, prepare, and share them from home.

That process works better when both people agree on what the video is for and keep the logistics smaller than the exercise session itself.

Define the check-in together

The practitioner should specify which movement to record, which angle matters, how many repetitions are useful, where to upload the clip, and when a response should be expected. The participant should know what not to record and who can access the destination.

A video is additional information for the practitioner. It is not a diagnosis, a safety guarantee, or proof that a movement is correct.

Make the camera position visible

A phone screen is difficult to see once the phone is across the room. A larger live view can help the participant confirm that the requested area is in frame before recording. With Live Video Feedback, the sequence is deliberate: open the Mac app, scan its QR code, allow the phone camera, then position the phone while watching the Mac.

Keep control of the recording

Review the take locally, remove unnecessary setup or cleanup, and use a recognizable name. Export only the clip that was requested. LVF keeps recordings, filenames, and exercise names on the Mac unless the participant chooses to export and share them.

Use the clinic’s existing channel

The practitioner or clinic should choose an appropriate patient portal, secure folder, or other sharing method. LVF does not provide cloud video storage and does not make that privacy decision on the clinic’s behalf.

Judge the workflow by repeated use

A setup that works once can still be too awkward to repeat. The founding pilot is intentionally small and supported so LVF can be evaluated across several weeks of real use: connection, framing, recording, clip preparation, export, recovery, and support.

If that describes an existing practitioner-directed workflow, you can request founding-pilot access. Requests are reviewed individually and admission is not guaranteed.
