Possibilities of modern remote technologies in neurorehabilitation

Abstract

The purpose — is to study the available scientific data on the effectiveness of the application of remote rehabilitation technologies in patients with cerebral pathology at the present stage.Material and methods. The search for relevant publications was carried out using the databases Cochrane Library, eLIBRARY.RU, PubMed, Google academy, MedLine, EBSCO, Scopus, Web of science, PEDro, CINAHL, Eric, Springer/nature, Elsevier. The review included 48 papers (systematic reviews, meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials) concerning the use of remote rehabilitation methods in patients with cerebral pathology.Results. Telerehabilitation has been shown to be an emerging healthcare field and the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated this development. The use of new technologies in the rehabilitation of patients with impaired motor and cognitive functions will improve the quality of care provided for medical rehabilitation, ensuring the continuity and succession of ongoing activities. The use of remote rehabilitation is comparable or even superior in clinical results to an alternative to home training, and the controlled format helps to increase the motivation of patients and improve efficiency. Limitations and obstacles to the implementation of specific technologies are given, ways to overcome them are shown.
