Record ID 32012000203
English
Authors' recommendations:
Telerehabilitation is the delivery of rehabilitation services from a distance using telecommunication technology, ranging from the telephone to more complex systems involving the Internet and videoconferencing equipment. Services may include consultation, mentoring, education, support, treatment monitoring, functional assessment, and/or therapy. Telerehabilitation has been proposed as a means to provide access to rehabilitation services for stroke survivors who have residual functional impairments at discharge from inpatient care when travel to outpatient rehabilitation facilities is hindered by cost, distance, or cognitive or mobility issues. The goal of telerehabilitation is to improve patient function and reduce long-term disability and associated healthcare costs.
