Overview
Telerehabilitation uses information and communication technology (ICT) to provide rehabilitation to people who are away from healthcare professionals in their homes, on business trips or for other reasons. Telerehabilitation can lead to a significant improvement in client care access. ICT successfully replaces the physician's physical contact with the patient outside the walls of a healthcare facility. The continuity of care for patients with disabilities is increasing. The telepathic concept along with telerehabilitation allows individuals to gain control over the management of their own medical needs. Communicating with a therapist allows personalized care, and personal control through choice. Therapeutic programs have different options. They use remote monitoring systems, robotic and virtual technologies. This work briefly presents the history of telerehabilitation and telephetics, and the most common technology used for remote rehabilitation services. Foreign and domestic studies are also presented on this issue.
