远程康复是指远距离提供康复服务，如物理治疗、言语病理学或职业治疗。主要目标是提供公平获得康复服务的机会。从广义上讲，基于远程医疗的物理康复技术可分为：(1)基于图像的远程康复；(2)基于传感器的远程康复；(3)虚拟环境与虚拟现实远程康复。迄今为止，大部分研究都集中在技术上，并且由单个案例或小样本研究设计组成。下一步是在现实世界环境中使用控制良好的研究方法和大量患者队列来证明可行的远程康复服务。此外，需要调查更广泛的成本效益和成本效益问题。如果能够做到这一点，那么远程康复对病人和保健系统无疑都有潜在的好处。
Telerehabilitation is the provision at a distance of rehabilitation services such as physiotherapy, speech pathology or occupational therapy. The primary aim is to provide equitable access to rehabilitation services. Broadly speaking, the technologies used for telemedicine-based physical rehabilitation can be classified as: (1) image-based telerehabilitation; (2) sensor-based telerehabilitation; and (3) virtual environments and virtual reality telerehabilitation. To date, much of the research has been technology focused, and has consisted of single case or small sample research designs. The next step is to demonstrate viable telerehabilitation services in real world environments using well controlled research methodologies with large patient cohorts. In addition, the broader issues of cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness require investigation. If this can be done, then the undoubted potential benefits of telerehabilitation, for both the patient and health-care systems, can be realized.
