Using Biometric Technology for Telehealth and Telerehabilitation

This article discusses the use of physical and biometric sensors in telerehabilitation. It also discusses synchronous tele-physical assessment using haptics and augmented reality and asynchronous physical assessment using remote pose estimation. The article additionally focuses on computational models that have the potential to monitor and evaluate changes in kinematic and kinetic properties during telerehabilitation using biometric sensors such as electromyography and other wearable and noncontact sensors based on force and speed. And finally, the article discusses how virtual reality environments can be facilitated in telerehabilitation.
