Abstract

Neurorehabilitation (NR), a major component of neurosciences, is the process of restoring a patient's damaged/disorganized neurological function, through training, therapy, and education, while focusing on patient's independence and well-being. Since the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, various applications of telecare and telehealth services surged drastically and became an integral part of current clinical practices. Tele-Neurorehabilitation (TNR) is one of such applications. When rehabilitation services were disrupted globally due to lockdown and travel restrictions, the importance of TNR was recognized, especially in developed, low, and middle-income countries. With exponential deployment of telehealth interventions in neurosciences, TNR has become a distinct stand-alone sub-specialty of neurosciences and telehealth. Digital technologies, such as wearables, robotics, and Virtual Reality (VR) have enabled TNR to improve the quality of patients' lives. Providing NR remotely using digital technologies and customized digital devices is now a reality, and likely to be the new norm soon. This article provides an overview of the needs, utilization, and deployment of TNR, and focuses on digital technology enablers of TNR in pre- and post-COVID-19 pandemic era.

COVID-19 大流行前后远程神经康复的数字技术推动因素--范围研究。
神经康复(NR)是神经科学的重要组成部分,是通过训练、治疗和教育恢复患者受损/受损神经功能的过程,同时关注患者的独立性和福祉。自 COVID-19 大流行以来,远程护理和远程保健服务的各种应用急剧增加,成为当前临床实践中不可或缺的一部分。远程神经康复(TNR)就是其中之一。当全球范围内的康复服务因封锁和旅行限制而中断时,人们认识到了 TNR 的重要性,尤其是在发达国家、低收入国家和中等收入国家。随着远程保健干预在神经科学领域的迅速发展,TNR 已成为神经科学和远程保健的一个独特的独立子专业。可穿戴设备、机器人和虚拟现实(VR)等数字技术使 TNR 能够改善患者的生活质量。利用数字技术和定制的数字设备远程提供 NR 现在已成为现实,而且很可能很快就会成为新常态。本文概述了 TNR 的需求、使用和部署情况,并重点介绍了 COVID-19 大流行前后 TNR 的数字技术推动因素。
