Towards the Organization of Telerehabilitation Services

Literature widely argues the advantages of telerehabilitation in the treatment of patients. Telerehabilitation services are considered as being a cost-effective alternative to traditional rehabilitation services since they can be delivered at a distance, thus reducing the travel costs and difficulties for patients to receive care at a healthcare facility. The increasing interest in telerehabilitation is closely related to the diffusion of the internet and to the idea, widely shared, that ICT can give the means to realize more effective and accurate as well as cheaper and more powerful services.
