Orthotic/prosthetic users were highly satisfied with the clinical services they received via telehealth.Satisfaction was linked to having agency and control over the decision to use telehealth, a clear understanding of the purpose of the appointment and any requirements, and a degree of health literacy that facilitated communication.Orthosis/prosthesis users and practitioners can make informed choices about using telehealth which suggests that many telehealth guidelines maybe unnecessarily risk averse.Telehealth is a useful tool to overcome barriers to accessing orthotic/prosthetic care for people in both metropolitan and regional areas.There are opportunities to support clinicians with targeted telehealth education to improve practice and reduce barriers to high-quality telehealth services.
