“…More recently, Internet-based videoconferencing has been used to assess and treat language and motor disorders after brain impairment and Parkinson's disease. A review of studies utilizing Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (a treatment for speech disorders associated with Parkinson's disease) demonstrated that telerehab is feasible through the combination of on-and offline assessments, online clinic visits, and online monitoring of speech or swallowing disorders [41].…”

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has triggered governments worldwide to implement severe restrictions on physical therapy protocols in order to better control the spread of the virus. One of the mechanisms of providing physical therapy patient care during this era is via telemedicine. Telerehabilitation or telerehab is a technological visual-audio system that serves patients, including those with a spine injury, ailment, or postoperatively, with neurological deficits. In this scoping review, we discuss the development of telerehab, the technological advances in the field, and the usage of telerehab specifically pertaining to spine patients, and comment on the advancement of telerehab in the time of COVID-19. There is preliminary evidence that suggests that the adoption of telerehab in lieu of face-to-face interventions is beneficial for reducing pain and improving physical function in patients afflicted with chronic nonmalignant musculoskeletal pain from low back pain, lumbar stenosis, neck pain, and osteoarthritis. Availability is important, as the necessary technology should be accessible to all participants. Safety and security should be addressed, as the passage of patient data over the Internet requires secure confidentiality. Ease-of-use is crucial to promote practicality, user-friendly operation, and adherence to therapy. The combination of evidence-based methodologies with cost-effective services will serve as a basis for the further expansion of vital telerehab services and increases reimbursement by health insurance providers.

“…Apart from that of cognitive functions, technological implementation for rehabilitation of other clinical manifestations such as speech and language is unfortunately limited. However, communication and swallowing problems, together with hypomimia, are highly prevalent in PD ( 37 ). A limited number of studies with the Lee Silverman Voice Treatment showed benefits on swallowing and reduced parkinsonian hypomimia ( 38 ).…”

Technology-Enabled Care: Integrating Multidisciplinary Care in Parkinson's Disease Through Digital Technology

Parkinson's disease (PD) management requires the involvement of movement disorders experts, other medical specialists, and allied health professionals. Traditionally, multispecialty care has been implemented in the form of a multidisciplinary center, with an inconsistent clinical benefit and health economic impact. With the current capabilities of digital technologies, multispecialty care can be reshaped to reach a broader community of people with PD in their home and community. Digital technologies have the potential to connect patients with the care team beyond the traditional sparse clinical visit, fostering care continuity and accessibility. For example, video conferencing systems can enable the remote delivery of multispecialty care. With big data analyses, wearable and non-wearable technologies using artificial intelligence can enable the remote assessment of patients' conditions in their natural home environment, promoting a more comprehensive clinical evaluation and empowering patients to monitor their disease. These advances have been defined as technology-enabled care (TEC). We present examples of TEC under development and describe the potential challenges to achieve a full integration of technology to address complex care needs in PD.

“…Individuals with severe and profound disabilities remain largely underserved by the technological revolution [90, 91], despite the evidence that high-tech AAC systems can support language and communication skills for individuals with significant developmental disabilities [57, 92, 93]. Furthermore, relative to the research base focused on children with developmental disabilities, the potential benefits of AAC technologies for adults with acquired disabilities is underexploited [94, 95]. Equally, most of the exciting developments in technology and access methods remain out of the reach of the majority of individuals living with socioeconomic disadvantage [19, 89].…”

Individuals with complex communication needs have benefited greatly from technological innovations over the past two decades, as well as from social movements that have shifted focus from disability to functioning and participation in society. Three strands of technological innovation are reviewed in this paper: (1) innovations in the tools that have become available, specifically tablet technologies; (2) innovations in access methods (eye gaze technologies and brain-computer interfaces); and (3) innovations in output, specifically speech technologies. The opportunities these innovations offer are explored, as are some of the challenges that they imply, not only for individuals with complex communication needs, but also for families, professionals, and researchers.
