International Journal of Telerehabilitation
Scope & Guideline
Empowering rehabilitation with cutting-edge research.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Telerehabilitation Practices:
The journal emphasizes research related to the application and effectiveness of telerehabilitation practices across different healthcare settings, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology. - Technological Innovations:
It explores the integration of new technologies in rehabilitation, such as hybrid cloud solutions, telehealth platforms, and mobile applications that enhance service delivery and patient engagement. - Patient-Centered Approaches:
A core focus is on patient-centered care, evaluating how telerehabilitation impacts patient outcomes, satisfaction, and engagement in their rehabilitation journey. - Cultural and Contextual Adaptation:
The journal addresses the need for culturally and contextually relevant telerehabilitation strategies, particularly in diverse geographical settings and among underserved populations. - Impact of COVID-19:
The journal investigates the rapid adaptations in rehabilitation practices necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic, analyzing both challenges and innovations that emerged during this period.
Trending and Emerging
- Hybrid and Integrated Models:
There is a growing interest in hybrid models that combine in-person and telerehabilitation approaches, allowing for more flexible and personalized patient care. - Focus on Specific Populations:
Recent publications indicate a trend towards addressing the needs of specific populations, such as children with developmental disorders, elderly patients, and individuals recovering from COVID-19. - Research on Psychometric Validation:
There is an increasing emphasis on the psychometric validation of tools and questionnaires used in telerehabilitation to ensure reliable assessments of patient outcomes and service effectiveness. - Ethical and Legal Considerations:
Emerging themes include the exploration of ethical and legal aspects of telerehabilitation, particularly concerning patient privacy, consent, and the implications of remote service delivery. - Global Perspectives in Telerehabilitation:
Recent studies reflect a growing interest in global perspectives on telerehabilitation, examining practices and outcomes in diverse cultural and healthcare contexts.
Declining or Waning
- General Telehealth Utilization Studies:
Research focused broadly on telehealth utilization trends, particularly before the COVID-19 pandemic, has diminished as more specific applications and outcomes of telerehabilitation have gained prominence. - Basic Telehealth Implementation Studies:
Earlier studies that simply explored the feasibility of implementing telehealth services without in-depth analysis of patient outcomes or technological integration are less frequently published. - Non-Specialized Rehabilitation Approaches:
There is a noticeable reduction in publications related to general rehabilitation practices not tailored to telerehabilitation, as the field moves towards more specialized and evidence-based telerehabilitation methodologies.
