Abstract

OBJECTIVES. The aim of this review is to synthesize existing literature that used telerehabilitation services as an intervention to improve balance control among the older adult. METHODOLOGY. A literature search was performed in five electronic databases from their inception to February 2024. The initial search was conducted in December 2023 by five reviewers and was further updated by two more reviewers in February 2024. Search terms relating to older adults, telerehabilitation, and balance control were used. All peer-reviewed articles meeting the following criteria were considered for inclusion: randomized control study design with individuals aged 60 and above who underwent telerehabilitation and assessed with static and dynamic balance outcomes. Two reviewers assessed the quality of studies using the revised JBI Checklist for Randomized Controlled Trials. Data were extracted such as participant’s characteristics, intervention protocol, outcome measures, and significant finding. The protocol for this review was registered in Prospero in February 2024 (https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?ID=CRD42024517316)
