Introduction: Telerehabilitation is the provision of rehabilitation services in a remote location using information and communication technology. Due to the absence of the therapist and the reduction of treatment costs, this method can be a suitable option for long-term rehabilitation of individuals with stroke. The present study briefly reviews the benefits and challenges of telerehabilitation techniques in patients with stroke.
Methods & Materials: The search was conducted in Cochrane, Science Direct, PubMed, and google scholar databases between1995-2024. Keywords included Stroke, Cerebrovascular accident, Telerehabilitation, Telemedicine, and Telehealth. In the initial search in databases, 20934 studies were obtained, and after reviewing the titles, the number of articles was reduced to 625 studies. In the next step, by comprehensively reviewing the abstracts, 8 studies that were consistent with the objectives of the current research were selected and comprehensively studied.
Results: Most patients prefer telerehabilitation because, in addition to reducing costs, it provides the opportunity to access rehabilitation services, especially for people who live far from specialized rehabilitation centers. Among the challenges of these services are how to conduct and interpret remote assessments and the lack of international standards in the field of ethics in remote rehabilitation. To effectively and correctly use this method of observing ethical principles, it seems necessary to explain a training course for therapists and service users and how to maintain the security of patients' information. Explaining a training course for therapists and users of telehealth services and how to maintain the security of patients' information seems necessary.
Conclusion: The growing interest in telerehabilitation indicates that this field will continue to develop. However, the major issue is that this new method should be organized to meet the same expectations as in-person rehabilitation. Larger and stronger studies are suggested to investigate the efficiency, feasibility, cost-effectiveness, ethical, and practicality of telerehabilitation.
