Abstract

Studies on Telerehabilitation systems and managements have been growing significantly in the last decade, and this rehabilitative approach has been widely accepted and is now well established. Nevertheless, telerehabilitation is likely to remain incomplete from the point of view of general care, due to persistent cost and political issues in particular. For this reason, during the last World Federation for NeuroRehabilitation congress held in Mumbai, participants of the Special Interest Group on Telerehabilitation agreed to organise this 1st Conference, in which to share clinical and organisational information and create a worldwide network of colleagues and friends involved in the same topic. We look forward to welcoming all professionals involved or interested in telerehabilitation research and practice.
