Abstract:

Objective To develop an expert consensus on telerehabilitation management for stroke patients using evidence-based methods.

Methods The Delphi method was adopted to form a list of questions and recommended opinions. The GRADE system was used to assess the quality of evidence and the strength of recommendations. The results of the expert consensus were reported in accordance with the RIGHT checklist.

Results A telerehabilitation medical team composed of rehabilitation physicians, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, psychological therapists and rehabilitation specialist nurses, etc., would provide services for the stroke patients if outpatient rehabilitation and short-term inpatient rehabilitation could not fully meet the needs. A total of 17 consensus opinions were formed covering four domains: overview, scope of application, implementation and management.

Conclusion Expert consensus has been reached on issues related to the standardized implementation of telerehabilitation for stroke patients, which is conducive to improving the quality and safety.
