RESUMO
Hospital visits and regular rehabilitation of chronic patients due to COVID-19 pose a risk. Therefore, patients with chronic illnesses who need regular rehabilitation have been victims of the pandemic process. Because of their fear of being infected, they were deprived of the chance of their symptoms being rehabilitated. Therefore, it is extremely important to rehabilitate individuals with chronic illnesses in need of rehabilitation through telerehabilitation. In this study, we aimed to show the effect of Cawthorne-Cooksey exercises to be applied through telerehabilitation on eye movements, vision, and quality of life in a patient suffering from diplopia due to multiple sclerosis (MS). It has been found that Cawthorne-Cooksey exercises improve the quality of life and reduce the complaints of diplopia in MS patients with diplopia. In addition, the patient verbally stated that his balance increased after Cawthorne-Cooksey exercises. As a result, Cawthorne-Cooksey exercises are a rehabilitation method that gives positive results in the treatment of diplopia and it is recommended to apply this method via telerehabilitation.
