The scope included short-term semantic feature training, baseline assessments, and evaluation of engagement and acceptability. Thirty-five adults (11-younger, 11-older, and 13-CSD) completed a two-phase protocol involving standardized SFA and VR-delivered SFA (VRSFA) across five tasks: picture naming, associative matching, common feature identification, semantic feature questions, and integrated SFA training. Participants completed cognitive and language assessments pre- and post-intervention, with qualitative feedback gathered through thematic analysis. Quantitative data were analyzed using non-parametric tests to assess group differences and task effects. Findings indicate that immersive VR is a feasible, engaging, and promising approach for delivering evidence-based semantic-feature training for individuals with typical and impaired cognitive communication profiles. Results support continued exploration of VR as a scalable and accessible rehabilitation modality in speech-language pathology.","PeriodicalId":45323,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Telerehabilitation","volume":"18 1","pages":"6746"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13321851/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148370332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More recently, the term digital health has emerged to refer to the use of digital technologies as tools and systems that contribute to improving healthcare outcomes (i.e., artificial intelligence and machine learning, digital therapeutics, mHealth, remote patient monitoring, remote therapeutic monitoring, wearable devices, and other health analytics and information software systems). These technologies enhance the efficiency of health care delivery through the broad use of information and communication technologies (ICT) and in some commercial applications include telehealth. This document is a revision of the American Telemedicine Association's (ATA) \"Principles for delivering Telerehabilitation Services\" (2017) and reflects the current utilization of telerehabilitation services. Its purpose is to inform and assist practitioners in providing effective and secure telerehabilitation services that are based on client needs, current empirical evidence, and available technologies. Rehabilitation professionals, in conjunction with professional associations and other organizations are encouraged to use this document as a resource for developing discipline-specific standards, guidelines, and practice requirements. This guide is not intended to replace the primary practitioner's clinical decision-making about the appropriate course of healthcare for any client.","PeriodicalId":45323,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Telerehabilitation","volume":"18 1","pages":"6767"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13321863/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148370278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Online assessments were conducted via video call by a trained physiotherapist. One month later, the same physiotherapist and a second physiotherapist scored the recorded assessments asynchronously.Results: There was a high level of agreement between in-person and tele-assessment (ICC > 0.90). Tele-assessment demonstrated excellent intra- and inter-rater reliability. However, participants took significantly longer to complete the test during tele-assessment (p < 0.05). No adverse events were observed.Conclusion: Tele-assessment using the 360 Degree Turn Test demonstrated high reliability and appeared to be safe under the specific conditions tested (i.e., chronic participants, caregiver presence, and controlled environment).

This study aimed to evaluate the usability of an early-stage platform by involving people with speech and/or language impairment and speech and language therapists in the development process to ensure that the system was tailored to their needs. Structured observation and a focus group were used in an exploratory usability workshop. Participants provided feedback on facilitators and barriers, suggestions for improvement, training needs, and support while using the platform. The results of the exploratory usability workshop showed that both end user groups would be interested in a future use of the HiSSS platform.","PeriodicalId":45323,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Telerehabilitation","volume":"18 1","pages":"6764"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13321854/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148370320","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This scoping review aims to assess the current state of telerehabilitation services in LMICs across Asia and Africa using Arksey and O'Malley's five-stage framework with PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Two reviews were conducted: one covering from 2012 to 2022 and another from 2023 to January 2025, yielding a total of 87 relevant articles. The key themes that emerged from the collected literature include current telerehabilitation status, pandemic utilization, implementation challenges, user understanding of telerehabilitation along with their perceptions and practices, and feasibility together with legal-ethical aspects and acceptability. Despite limited ICT skills and infrastructure challenges, users reported positive experiences, primarily using mobile phones and video conferences. However, privacy concerns along with digital literacy issues remain. Although many nations adopted WHO guidelines and donor support, formal policies and sustainable implementation strategies are still lacking. The findings underscore the need for context specific and sustainable frameworks to strengthen telerehabilitation in LMICs.","PeriodicalId":45323,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Telerehabilitation","volume":"17 2","pages":"6724"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12726847/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145828863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
