“…It was designed as a rehabilitation system based on virtual reality that can be used to carry out in-home rehabilitation programs. Even though its main purpose was focused on the rehabilitation of disorders caused by acquired brain injury, the selected reports show that it has been used for providing remote rehabilitation assistance to patients with chronic acquired brain injury [76], Parkinson's disease [75], cerebral palsy [77], stroke [78], carpal tunnel syndrome [79] and upper limbs disabilities [80]. To do so, this project included low-cost devices for motion capture that interact with Kinect® cameras, Nintendo Wii Fit Plus®, MyO® armband, a haptic device and a robot ball.…”

Telerehabilitation has arised by the inclusion of emerging technologies for capturing, transmitting, analyzing and visualizing movement patterns associated to musculoskeletal disorders. This therapeutic strategy enables to carry out diagnosis processes and provide rehabilitation treatments. This paper presents a systematic review of the current development and implementation of telerehabilitation technologies in Latin America. The main goal is to explore the scientific literature and dissemination sources to establish if such technologies have been introduced in this region. Likewise, this work highlights existing prototypes or systems that are to being used or that are still under development. A systematic search strategy was conducted by two different searches: the first one involves a rigorous literature search from the most relevant scientific digital repositories; the second one included telerehabilitation projects and programs retrieved by an advanced Google search. A total of 53 documents from six countries (Colombia, Brazil, Mexico, Ecuador, Chile and Argentina) were found. Most of them were focused on academic and research initiatives to develop in-home telerehabilitation technologies for pediatric and elderly populations affected by motor and functional impairment, cerebral palsy, neurocognitive disorders and stroke. The analysis of the findings revealed the need for a comprehensive approach that integrates health care and the social system to increase the current availability of telerehabilitation initiatives in Latin America.
