Telerehabilitation for musculoskeletal conditions, neuromuscular conditions, and mobility impairment
Record ID 32012000572
English
Authors' recommendations:
Several musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, and other medical conditions may lead to motor dysfunction and impaired mobility that require rehabilitation services. Telerehabilitation is the delivery of rehabilitation services from a distance using telecommunication technology, ranging from the telephone to more complex systems using the Internet and videoconferencing equipment. Services may include consultation, mentoring, education, support, treatment monitoring, wheelchair prescription, functional assessment, home hazard assessment, and/or therapy. Telerehabilitation has been proposed as a means to improve access to rehabilitation services, thereby improving
patient function and reducing long-term disability and associated healthcare costs, when travel to outpatient rehabilitation facilities is hindered by cost, distance, or cognitive or mobility issues.
