Abstract
The demand for telemedicine has been increasing over the past several years with the growth of technology and digital connectivity in our daily lives. With the impact of the global coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, telemedicine implementation has become a necessity for many specialties because social distancing measures have greatly affected access to routine medical care. This article presents a detailed and systematic approach to conducting a hand physical examination during a video telemedicine encounter. Although the telemedicine physical examination has limitations, most components of the normal physical examination can be completed remotely with a systematic approach. We enumerate modifications to maximize examination remotely and present considerations for improved delivery of telemedicine care. These methods may be beneficial to providers incorporating telemedicine into their practice.
