Stroke rehabilitation is an essential component of post-stroke care and is more effective if started sooner. Stroke rehabilitation therapy aims to improve motor function, psychological well-being, cognitively, emotionally, and in terms of social well-being. Telerehabilitation allows communication between medical staff and patients and can be a suitable alternative to usual rehabilitation care in poststroke patients. This method may have potential implications for patients, especially in remote or underserved areas. Future trials are needed on telerehabilitation’s feasibility, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness in other low and middle-income countries where the stroke burden is burgeoning.

Tujuan terapi rehabilitasi stroke adalah untuk meningkatkan fungsi motorik, kognitif, emosional, kesejahteraan psikologis dan sosial. Telerehabilitasi memungkinkan komunikasi antara staf medis dan pasien dan dapat sebagai alternatif yang sesuai untuk perawatan rehabilitasi biasa pada pasien pasca-stroke. Metode ini mungkin memiliki implikasi potensial bagi pasien, terutama di daerah terpencil atau kurang terlayani. Penelitian masih diperlukan untuk kelayakan, kemanjuran, dan keefektifan biaya telerehabilitasi di negara berpenghasilan rendah dan menengah dengan beban stroke meningkat.
Background : Hemichorea-hemiballismus (HC-HB) is a hyperkinetic disorder characterized by uncontrolled movements, non patterned, occurring mostly in the proximal extremity on one side of the body. The etiology that most often causes HC-HB is acute cerebrovascular disorder. Non-ketotic hyperglycemia is another etiology that is very important because it is the second most common cause of HC-HB and can be manifested as an initial symptom or complication of diabetes mellitus. This case is rare and the prevalence is unknown. Case : A diabetic patient with non-ketotic hyperglycemia reported with hemiballismus syndrome. A 60-year-old woman experiences involuntary, repetitive, and non-rhythmic movements in the left arm and leg. These patients have a history of uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and hypertension. Head CT scan images in patients showed hyperdensity lesions in the right basal ganglia which were thought to be caused by non-ketotic hyperglycemia and infarction in the right temporal lobe. Involuntary movements improve after blood glucose targets are achieved by administering basal and prandial insulin. Clinical response in the case of hemiballismus above is reversible even though the appearance of hyperdensityt lesions can last for several months. Discussion : Hemichorea-Hemiballismus (HC-HB) is a rare disorder of involuntary movement, most often caused by focal lesions in the basal ganglia and the contralateral subthalamic nucleus. HC-HB is mainly caused by systemic processes both focal and diffuse. Nonketotic hyperglycemia is known to be a metabolic cause of HC-HB, especially in elderly patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. Clinical manifestations and supporting patients support hyperglycemia and basal ganglia hyperdensity to be the etiology of hemiballismus experienced by patients. Conclusion : Many etiologies can cause this disorder, but vascular disorders and non-ketotic hyperglycemia are the most common etiologies. HC-HB in non-ketotic hyperglycemic is manifestation which is very rare in diabetes mellitus. The prognosis is quite good in most patients with or without treatment. This case report describes a successful treatment approach with positive results and a fairly short duration.
