Background: The expansion of telecommunications through information technology has fundamentally transformed the landscape of medical management across the globe. This transformation is particularly evident in the domain of rehabilitation, where the integration of electronic media and information and communication technologies (ICT) has revolutionized the delivery of health services and information ^{[2, 3]}. Cardiovascular and pulmonary rehabilitation is a comprehensive intervention for secondary prevention of cardiovascular and pulmonary disease. Cardiac rehabilitation includes physical rehabilitation, controlling and monitoring the vitals of patient, improving the cardiorespiratory endurance, energy conservation techniques and designing rehab protocol accordingly. However, the present study aims to bridge this gap by evaluating the knowledge, awareness, and skills of CVRS physiotherapists towards telerehabilitation. This focus is pivotal in understanding the readiness and capability of future cardiovascular and respiratory physiotherapists to embrace and effectively implement telerehabilitation practices, thereby contributing to the broader application and success of these technologies in enhancing patient care and rehabilitation outcomes.

Methods: A Cross-sectional study was conducted on 45 2nd year Cardio-Vascular and Respiratory Physiotherapists and a self-made questionnaire was provided to them via google forms through emails and different social media platforms and their answers were recorded. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis in MS Excel.

Results: The results showed that 64% of the total population is aware about tele-rehabilitation in CVRS Physiotherapy and 50% of them choose to rate their overall knowledge as somewhat knowledgeable, 45% as knowledgeable, 4% as not knowledgeable at all and 5% as very knowledgeable and 75% of participants had an opportunity to practice tele-rehabilitation in the past, and 25% never had the opportunity for it.
