This systematic review assessed and synthesized the current evidence regarding the efficacy of telerehabilitation as compared with in-person rehabilitation, other forms of telerehabilitation delivery, or no rehabilitation in improving the activities of daily living of stroke survivors. The authors found moderate evidence that telerehabilitation is a feasible alternative for rehabilitation provision. Implications include the need for occupational therapy research to identify effective telerehabilitation methods, explore how remote sessions affect daily tasks, and examine occupation-based outcomes specifically relevant to stroke survivors.
