Can Post Stroke Walking Improve With Telerehabilitation? A Systematic Review in Adults With Stroke (EN)
by Deshmukh, S. & Madhavan, S.
December 01, 2022
TYPE OF TOOL: Research Article.
TARGET POPULATION: Developed to inform clinicians, researchers, and educators.
BASIC DESCRIPTION: These findings provide evidence supporting the use of telerehabilitation as an effective mode of therapy in providing a better continuum of care in stroke survivors and improving walking related outcomes, especially those pertaining to balance and endurance.
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.
Glove Rehabilitation Application for Stroke Patients (GRASP) (EN)
TYPE OF TOOL: Modified SaeboGlove for home VR use.
TARGET POPULATION: Developed for stroke patients.
BASIC DESCRIPTION: Incorporates the SaeboVR software using Kinect-based motion capture to allow virtual practice of IADLs while patient is at home. Can be used both asynchronous and synchronous with telerehabilitation.
Identification and description of telerehabilitation assessments for individuals with neurological conditions: A scoping review (EN)
by O'Neil, J., Barnes, K., Donnelly, E.M. et. al.
June 22, 2023
TYPE OF TOOL: Scoping Review.
TARGET POPULATION: Developed for researchers.
BASIC DESCRIPTION: A scoping review of outcome measures used to remotely assess the motor function and participation in people with neurological conditions.
Implementing Team-Based Post-Stroke Telerehabilitation: A Case Example (EN)
by Anderson, M., Dexter, B., et al.
June 03, 2022
TYPE OF TOOL: Research Article.
TARGET POPULATION: Developed to inform clinicians, researchers, and educators.
BASIC DESCRIPTION: This case example reports the development, implementation, and progression of a post-acute treatment program delivered via telerehabilitation to a woman with left hemorrhagic stroke.
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.
Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) (EN)
TYPE OF TOOL: Motion detection technology.
TARGET POPULATION: Developed for clinicians and researchers.
BASIC DESCRIPTION: Provides clinicians and researchers the ability to measure client movements non-invasively. This technology has recently been adapted with the goal of securing elderly people by monitoring for falls.
Management Information and Decision Support Epilepsy Tool (MINDSET) (EN)
TYPE OF TOOL: Tablet based APP.
TARGET POPULATION: Developed for clinicians working with people with epilepsy.
BASIC DESCRIPTION: Provides a tablet-based decision aid for use in an outpatient healthcare setting to assist both patients and health care providers in assessing the patient’s epilepsy self-management behaviours relating to seizures, medications, and lifestyle.
Modified Fugl-Meyer Upper Extremity Assessment for Telerehabilitation (tUEFMA) (EN)
TYPE OF TOOL: Clinical assessment.
TARGET POPULATION: Developed for clinicians.
BASIC DESCRIPTION: A modified version of the upper extremity portion of the FM (tUEFMA), created for telerehabilitation. The second evidence article contains a Spanish translation.
Remote Cognitive and behavioral assessment: Report of the Alzheimer Society of Canada Task Force on Dementia care best practices for COVID-19. (EN)
by Geddes, M.R, O'Connell, M., et al.
September 22, 2020
TYPE OF TOOL: Research Article.
TARGET POPULATION: Developed to inform clinicians, researchers, and educators.
BASIC DESCRIPTION: Provide a multi?dimensional framework for remotely assessing cognitive, functional, behavioral, and physical aspects of people with cognitive impairment, along with ethical and technical considerations.
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 for people with low vision (EN)
by Bittner, A., Yoshinaga, P., et al.
January 13, 2023
TYPE OF TOOL: Research Article.
TARGET POPULATION: Developed to inform clinicians, researchers, and educators.
BASIC DESCRIPTION: The included trial found similar efficacy between telerehabilitation with a therapist and an active control intervention of self?guided training in mostly younger to middle?aged adults with low vision who received a new wearable electronic aid. Given the disease burden and the growing interest in telemedicine, the two ongoing studies, when completed, may provide further evidence of the potential for telerehabilitation as a platform for providing services to people with low vision.
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)
by Munoz-Tomas, T., Burillo-Lafuente, M. et al.
May 04, 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.
