Abstract
Telerehabilitation, or the use of technology to provide rehabilitation services remotely, has been shown to be effective in a variety of settings. It has the potential to improve access to rehabilitation services for individuals living in rural or remote areas, reduce barriers to care such as transportation and childcare, and increase patient satisfaction. However, there are also potential drawbacks to telerehabilitation, such as the need for reliable internet access and privacy concerns. Overall, telerehabilitation can be a useful addition to traditional rehabilitation services, but further research is needed to fully understand its effectiveness and optimal implementation.
