Overview
The article describes the importance of telerehabilitation and provides a description of its application in practice. As a practical example of a feasible and affordable telerehabilitation approach in the domestic context, we present the case report of a patient with whom we have used, as a telerehabilitation intervention, the interactive Home balance system. The system was used for balance training, utilizing a stabilometric platform and visual feedback as well as the Skype application for online video calls.
The overall benefits, including sustainability of the effect of the therapy, were objectively verified using posturographic examination and standardized tests. Following therapy, the patient measured improvement in the Berg Balance Scale, Mini-BESTest and Functional Independence Measure (FIM) standardized tests and in posturographic examination. The improvement remained partially sustained even after four weeks without therapy. Based on a structured questionnaire completed by the patient, the positive subjective impression of the patient was also ascertained.
