Introduction: Telemedicine is the application of telemedicine. There is not a new branch of medicine, but a way of exercising through systems that seek to alleviate the physical separation of its protagonists. There are many activities closely related to telemedicine, such as the telecare of socio-distance services, telehealth, which is responsible for increasing the welfare and health of individuals, teleeducation (health) and telesurgery.
Development: The neurorehabilitation is a process designed to reduce disability and social disadvantage suffered by a person as a result of a neurological disease, in which the telerehabilitation is positioning as a therapeutic measure. The telerehabilitation refers to the provision of rehabilitation services through electronic systems, based on information and communication technologies.
Conclusions: The development of these technologies have made telemedicine a reality, enabling extended rehabilitative care beyond the hospitalarian process, in a ecologic environment, where new constraints detect and evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention, compared with the activities of daily living and quality of life of patients at a sustainable cost, is a challenge today. However, current evidence of telerehabilitation measures in neurological patients is scarce in our country, so is necessary a larger number of studies focusing on the validity, reliability, effectiveness and efficiency of the technique.

Neurocognitive impairment (NCI) is present in around 40% of people with HIV and substantially affects everyday life, adherence to combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) and overall life expectancy. Suboptimal therapy regimen, opportunistic infections, substance abuse and highly prevalent psychiatric co-morbidities contribute to NCI in people with HIV. In this review, we highlight the need for efficacious treatment of HIV-related NCI through pharmacological approaches and cognitive neurorehabilitation, discussing recent randomized controlled trials in this domain.

Background And Purpose: Despite comprehensive evidence that supports the utility of aphasia therapy in persons with chronic (≥6 months) stroke-induced aphasia, the amount of therapy provided to patients in the United States is typically far less than what is likely necessary to maximize recovery. Two potential contributors to this discrepancy are limited access to rehabilitation services due to the availability of providers and logistical difficulties with transportation. One way to increase access to aphasia therapy is to rely on telerehabilitation.

Purpose: To explore the effects of telerehabilitation-based motor imagery (Tele-MI) training on motor imagery ability (MI), motor function, and performance in children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
Methods: The research involved twenty-three children with DMD and twelve healthy children. DMD cohort were randomized into two groups: treatment [Tele-MI training and telerehabilitation-based physiotherapy program (Tele-PTP), = 12] and control (Tele-PTP, = 11).

Background: Published data demonstrate promising results for rehabilitation in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), including telerehabilitation technologies. Given the travel limitations during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), telerehabilitation may provide a viable alternative to in-person physiotherapy.
Objective: To determine the efficacy of telerehabilitation in MS patients during COVID-19.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers assessed QoL using scales like the PDQ-39 and measured MF with tests such as the 20-m walk test and timed up-and-go (TUG) test before and after six months of the online intervention.
- * Results showed significant improvements in social support, cognition, walking cadence, and gait performance, indicating that online programs can effectively enhance MF and QoL in PD patients.
