Tele-rehab aftercare.

ABSTRACT

Telerehabilitation applications are increasingly used in neurorehabilitation, especially since the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Their acceptance by care providers, patients and payers has increased. In the field of multiple sclerosis (MS), stroke and Parkinson's disease therapy, positive effects of telerehabilitation on various disease parameters have been demonstrated in smaller studies in recent years. The "non-inferiority"to outpatient rehabilitation measures has been shown convincingly in some rehabilitation patient collectives. In Germany, the Federation of German Pension Insurance Institutions (DRV Bund) has created an opportunity for the dissemination of telerehabilitative procedures by establishing tele-rehab aftercare.Copyright © Hippocampus Verlag 2023.
