Observing movement through a screen leaves out tactile cues, joint play, and precise muscle tone, so functional tests often rely on patient report and limited camera angles. It can miss compensations, balance instability, or joint swelling, so plan for follow-up hands-on checks.

Remote exams miss palpation, resistance testing, and precise posture data, so they underestimate pain triggers and fall risk compared to in-person evaluation.
