Telerehabilitation the Benefits and Drawbacks

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted negatively our society and resulted in numerous deaths. It has had an effect on every facet of health care delivery. Rules, regulations, and payment policies were changed to allow extensive use of telecommunications technology in lieu of inperson clinical visits to protect health care personnel and patients throughout the country from the risk of disease transmission. Telerehabilitation (TR) is equally effective in delivering specific health, medical, and rehabilitation expertise from worldclass medical centers to homes and small clinics throughout metropolitan regions.Maintaining social distance and self-isolation during the worldwide coronavirus epidemic requires online courses, films with exercise instructions, or individual online consultations.
