Abstract
Background: The effect of Covid-19 on medical care for conditions other than Covid-19 has been difficult to quantify.1 Any decrease in care for patients with stroke may be consequential because timely treatment may decrease the disability. Methodology: A qualitative type of study was conducted on 15participants. Old neuro patients, participants who were willing to participate & performing ADL’s with difficulty or minimal assistance were included & new patients, participants with neurological abnormalities were excluded.
Result: A total 15 participants with neurological dysfunction were included in the study. The mean duration of symptoms was 2.83±2.35 in years. 80% patients were like the concept of telerehabilitation & 100% patients were satisfied from the telerehabilitation session.
Conclusion: Patients were generally satisfied of telerehabilitation programme during COVID. But showed less interest after number of sessions and difficult to take follow up of telerehabilitation for long term.
Key Words: Perception, Telerehabilitation, Physiotherapy, Exercises etc.
