Virtual Rehabilitation and Telerehabilitation System is a term used to describe the provision of rehabilitation across the spectrum of acute, sub-acute and community settings at a distance, using telecommunications technology as the service delivery medium. Telerehabilitation relates to the services delivered by a number of health disciplines including physiotherapy. Telerehabilitation utilises a broad range of technologies to facilitate physiotherapy treatment. Image based technologies can be successfully used for the remote diagnosis and management of clients. Sensor based telerehabilitation utilises sensor technologies such as tilt switches, accelerometers and gyroscopes to sample and quantify movement through three-dimensional space. Virtual reality based telerehabilitation systems make use of configurable computer-generated threedimensional virtual environments to elicit specific movement and motor responses by the client. The virtual environment can be displayed to the client via computer screen. Fully immersive environments are possible with the use of head-mounted visual displays and haptic feedback devices. Physiotherapists are able to manipulate these environments to incorporate key rehabilitation concepts such as task repetition, feedback and motivation which have been demonstrated to result in the learning of new motor skills which translate to the real world.
