Stroke is one of the main medical and social problems of humanity. It ranks second among the causes of mortality and first among the causes of disability in all countries of the world.Stroke patients often face difficulties in home rehabilitation and in developing adequate adherence to rehabilitation therapy. There is a lack of current scientific knowledge related to stroke. It is important to ensure the effectiveness of the rehabilitation process, which predicts a return to normal functional value similar to social value. Therefore, providing positive and effective rehabilitation support services after counseling to address this problem and help those who have survived it.Telerehabilitation is a new innovative method aimed at restoring a patient’s functional capabilities at home.It is used by rehabilitation specialists to treat the main consequences of stroke: impaired motor function of the upper and lower extremities, cognitive disorders, and aphasia. Telerehabilitation involves the remote provision of various rehabilitation services using telecommunications technologies.The advantages of telerehabilitation include the provision of long-term and tailored therapy at home according to the needs of patients. Its effectiveness depends on the specifics of the program, including the type and severity of the patient’s condition, the purpose of the assessment, and the goals of the intervention. This model of rehabilitation treatment allows the patient and the rehabilitation therapist to maintain contact at a distance and coordinate the recovery process, which also improves the emotional attitude towards the rehabilitation process.
