Abstract
Telerehabilitation (TR) refers to the delivery of rehabilitation services via information and communication technologies. Telemedicine offers an innovative approach to increase access to rehabilitation medicine services for patients who live in areas where healthcare providers are scarce or absent. The objective of this review paper was to highlight the role of TR from an evidence-informed perspective. We searched MEDLINE for English articles and identified abstracts relevant to TR which were synthesized under practice and research in TR with issues in the present and implications for future.
