ABSTRACT:
The rapid development of new technologies contributes to the
improvement of telemedicine and telerehabilitation. Telepractices in
modern rehabilitation have a positive impact on functional, motor, and
cognitive recovery.
The aim of the present study is to
investigate and analyze the possibilities of new technologies for
functional recovery and cognitive functions in rehabilitation after a
stroke.
Material and Methods: A systematic search of
the PubMed, Embase, and Google Scholar databases was performed. The
search was conducted from March to August 2024 using the keyword
“telerehabilitation”, “E-rehabilitation “, “occupational therapy “, and
“stroke “.
Results: Stroke recovery is a complex and
lengthy process. The functional telerehabilitation system facilitates
therapeutic intervention by using interactive virtual environments and
biomedical technologies. Applied rehabilitation training programs with
new technologies have a positive effect and significantly restore the
functional level after a stroke in self-care, motor abilities of the
upper limbs (dexterity of movements, grip strength, kinematics),
cognitive abilities (attention, memory, visual-spatial abilities), and
locomotion.
Conclusion: Modern telerehabilitation is a
relatively new approach with unlimited applications. Telepractice
facilitates the access of stroke patients to health services and
supports the recovery of impaired function to the maximum extent,
permanently improving independence and quality of life.
(But it doesn’t work! So, also a complete failure of 10% full recovery)
