Abstract :
People living in rural areas far from health
care centers are more likely to require
health care services because of their
long-distance services and poverty .
Tele-rehabilitation is considered as one
of the rapidly emerging and growing areas
of telemedicine and a precious model for providing
clinical services like assessment, treatment, and
follow-ups, as well as reducing the length of time for
hospitalization. In fact, this method can have similar or
even better results compared to conventional interventions
and sometimes can be used as an alternative
for ordinary services .
