Introduction[edit | edit source]
There is a global rise in the prevalence of stroke. Stroke affects populations across the socio-economic spectrum.[1] This developing situation will undoubtedly put a growing burden on rehabilitation services to meet the inflating demand. Telehealth interventions are employed in stroke rehabilitation due to resource limitations and scarcity of out-patient care[2], as is the case in most populous countries.
