COGTEL: The Cognitive Telephone Screening Instrument (EN)
TYPE OF TOOL: Test Battery.
TARGET POPULATION: Developed for clinicians.
BASIC DESCRIPTION: Provides a detailed assessment of performance in six cognitive domains (prospective, short-term, long-term, and working memory, verbal fluency, and inductive reasoning) using tests adopted from well-established neuropsychological instruments such as the Wechsler scales.
DIGICOG-MS (EN)
by AISM Foundation
TYPE OF TOOL: Mobile app.
TARGET POPULATION: Developed for clinicians and clients (in Italy).
BASIC DESCRIPTION: Provides a digital self-assessment system of cognitive functioning most affected by MS, such as information processing speed, verbal and visuospatial memory, and language.
Improving Functional Communication Outcomes in Post-Stroke Aphasia via Telepractice: An Alternative Service Delivery Model for Underserved Populations (EN)
by Carr, P., Moser, D., et al.
December 13, 2022
TYPE OF TOOL: Research Article.
TARGET POPULATION: Developed to inform clinicians, researchers, and educators.
BASIC DESCRIPTION: All participants demonstrated improvements in CCRSA scores, total words produced correctly on trained CST stimuli, and total words produced correctly on trained ORLA stimuli. No differences were noted in CADL-3 scores. All participants were highly satisfied with telepractice as a service delivery model.
INCOG 2.0 Guidelines for Cognitive Rehabilitation Following Traumatic Brain Injury: Methods, Overview, and Principles (EN)
by Mark Bayley, et al.
January 01, 2023
The objective of this initiative was to reconvene the international group of cognitive researchers and clinicians (known as INCOG) to develop INCOG 2.0: Guidelines for Cognitive Rehabilitation Following TBI. In total, the INCOG update contains 80 recommendations, including recommendations regarding teleassessment and teletreatment.
Remote Cognitive and behavioral assessment: Report of the Alzheimer Society of Canada Task Force on Dementia care best practices for COVID-19. (EN)
This resource provides a multidimensional framework for remotely assessing cognitive, functional, behavioral, and physical aspects of people with cognitive impairment, along with ethical and technical considerations.
Telerehab at Home: Mobile Tablet Technology for Patients With Poststroke Communication Deficits—A Pilot Feasibility Randomized Control Trial (EN)
by Mallet, K. H., Shamloul, R.M. et al.
January 12, 2023
TYPE OF TOOL: Research Article.
TARGET POPULATION: Developed to inform clinicians, researchers, and educators.
BASIC DESCRIPTION: SLT using telerehabilitation via mobile technology is feasible in the very early stages of acute stroke recovery. It is potentially an effective means of bridging the gap between discharge from the acute care setting to the start of outpatient SLT services.
Telerehabilitation as a Therapeutic Exercise Tool versus Face-to-Face Physiotherapy: A Systematic Review (EN)
by Muñoz-Tomás, M.T., Burillo-Lafuente, M. et al.
February 28, 2023
TYPE OF TOOL: Research Article.
TARGET POPULATION: Developed to inform clinicians, researchers, and educators.
BASIC DESCRIPTION: Most of the studies concluded that physiotherapy interventions using telerehabilitation were at least as effective as traditional rehabilitation interventions and are considered feasible and effective options. In general, telerehabilitation interventions were shown to improve functional level and quality of life, as no significant differences with control groups were observed. This review provides information on patients’ high levels of satisfaction and adherence, with values equivalent to traditional rehabilitation in all cases.
Telerehabilitation service impact on physical function and adherence compared to face-to-face rehabilitation in patients with stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (EN)
