Importance of Innovative Technology in Rehabilitation[edit | edit source]

Innovative technology has grown substantially in the rehabilitation setting. Rehabilitation professionals are often involved with the testing, development and modification of new and existing technology, alongside engineers and development teams. These innovations can improve rehabilitation, prevent decline and regression, monitor changes and help with maintaining healthy living. This ultimately strives to improve the quality of life for complex injuries and conditions.[1]

Innovative technology has the ability to:

  • enhance the treatment and management of complex injuries and conditions
  • make rehabilitation more effective, efficient and patient-centred
  • reduce environmental barriers[1]
    • for example smart home devices can perform tasks with little human input
    • innovative equipment can help decrease the impact of impairments on activity and participation
  • connect people with one another and provide support to each other in real-time
    • for example social media and internet support groups for people with similar injuries and conditions[1]

For the use of innovative technology to be effective in patients with complex injuries and conditions, rehabilitation professionals need to stay up to date with the latest emerging technologies so that they can provide the best possible care to their patients.

Emerging Technologies in Rehabilitation[edit | edit source]

Telerehabilitation[edit | edit source]

Telerehabilitation refers to the delivery of rehabilitation services by any rehabilitation professional through digital (information and communication technologies) mode.[2][3]With the advances in communication technology, telerehabilitation has now become a viable option for delivery of rehabilitation services. It's use and effectiveness have been tested in various complex injuries and conditions such as:

  • neurological conditions:
    • Stroke[4]
      • Low or moderate quality evidence were reported and findings suggest that telerehabilitation may not be inferior to in-person therapy and may therefore be a relevant model of service delivery to patients that need rehabilitation after stroke.[4]
      • Telerehabilitation is reported as a feasible and alternative method to conventional treatment or as complimentary treatment to improve treatment outcomes. Telerehabilitation has been shown to have good outcomes on motor and cognitive functions, aphasia and speech-linguistics in patients recovering from stroke. It may have positive effects on patient engagement and motivation.[5]
      • Telerehabilitation was found to be effective on patient satisfaction and clinical parameters such as hand function and balance in patients recovering from stroke.[6]
    • Multiple sclerosis
      • Telerehabilitation is reported to improve general quality of life, muscle strength and endurance in people with multiple sclerosis[6]and may beneficial for the treatment of motor systems in people with multiple sclerosis[7]
    • Parkinson's disease
      • Telerehabilitation may help improve balance and function[6]and maintain or improve gait, speech and voice, quality of life and patient satisfaction in people Parkinson's disease.[8]
    • Spinal cord injuries
      • Telerehabilitation in the context of spinal cord injuries is referred to as teleSCI.[9] Recent research trends on teleSCI include preventive health and wellness after SCI, chronic pain management, anxiety and depression, restorative and rehabilitation care and disaster planning.[9] The benefits of teleSCI modalities are increased adherence and lower attrition rates which may improve clinical outcomes.[9]
    • Traumatic brain injury
      • Evidence is still lacking on telerehabilitation in people with traumatic brain injury, but it may be a useful tool to facilitate and ensure continuity of care between hospital discharge and return to home.[10]
