Role of Telerehabilitation in Upper Extremity Rehabilitation of Parkinson's Patients: Review of the Literature

Abstract

Parkinson's Disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases that mostly affect motor function. Upper extremity dysfunction occurs in these patients from the early stage and negatively affects the activities of the individual such as reaching, grasping, and writing, which are frequently used in daily life. The fact that PD is a chronic neurodegenerative disease increases the need for long-term rehabilitation of individuals. On the other hand, long-term rehabilitation service leads to high costs for both health institutions and patients. Telerehabilitation applications enable physiotherapy and rehabilitation services to be applied more practically, at lower costs, and by saving more time. Considering that Parkinson's patients mostly consist of the geriatric population, the increase in diseases such as the emerging Covid-19 epidemic has made it more difficult for patients with PD to reach rehabilitation. This situation has accelerated the emergence of rehabilitation services that can be an alternative to the rehabilitation services used in the clinic. Due to the limited physiotherapy and rehabilitation services provided in hospitals or clinics for patients with Parkinson's, therapists focus more on developing transfer-oriented skills such as balance and walking, and they often cannot find enough time for upper extremity training. Therefore, telerehabilitation applications appear as an advantageous option for upper extremity training. Telerehabilitation is defined as the transmission of rehabilitation services to long distances by using various communication technologies. Recently, telerehabilitation approaches have been frequently preferred in many neurological disease groups such as stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, and PD. In this review, it is aimed to discuss the telerehabilitation approaches used in the upper extremity rehabilitation of patients with PD.
