Tele-rehabilitation Through CIMT at Recovering the Function of the Upper Limb and Quality of Life

The current pandemic scenario is immensely challenging for healthcare professionals. Telerehabilitation,is a promising option that benefited many people, allowing continuity of therapeutic processes and promoting the admission of people without prior access to rehabilitation programs. This modality has shown comparable results with conventional rehabilitation strategies, applied in patients with neurological pathologies. However, the modalities applied and the quality of the studies are insufficient to establish their real benefits and effectiveness. Strategies such as CIMT, have been shown to be effective in improving upper limb function and restoring quality of life in stroke survivors. However, there is little evidence on its effectiveness when administered under telerehabilitation modality.
