Introduction: The employment of telerehabilitation in different disciplines, particularly in the rehabilitation of older adults, has grown significantly across the world. In the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, a chance has arisen to improve the user experience and to draw attention to the advantages of utilizing this service. The current research aimed to evaluate the investigations that utilized telerehabilitation to assist elderly people during the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and Methods: Systematic searches of papers published between September 1, 2019 and 1 December, 2021 were conducted in PubMed, Cochran Library, Web of Science, Scopus, Science Direct, and ProQuest databases. The author narrowed down the list of articles by using search terms. Ultimately, publications from the COVID-19 period were studied for their perspectives on the employment of telerehabilitation among the elderly population. The whole process was supervised by two investigators at the same time. Results: In total, 2529 articles were included in the first search. Five articles were chosen for further assessment based on the careful consideration of their titles, abstracts, and full texts. Cross-sectional, feasibility, case, and interventional studies comprised 20%, 20%, 20%, and 40% of the papers, respectively. The studies were carried out in Brazil, the United States, Germany, Japan, and South Korea and involved using telerehabilitation for elderly individuals, identification of crucial manifestations and impairments, improving physical function in this population, and ensuring their happiness. Conclusion: Using a digital strategy for rehabilitation should be regarded as a means of overcoming the field’s obstacles. As a result, legislators and rehabilitation groups should consider the employment of telerehabilitation for the elderly population during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…This, in turn, influenced patients’ attitudes positively, and as a result, patient cooperation during treatment was improved [ 26 ]. A study conducted by Eslami Jahromi et al [ 27 ] showed that there was a significant difference in the mean scores of stuttering severity before and after telepractice and more than half of the patients were satisfied with this treatment method. Similarly, Cangi and Togram [ 4 ] showed that telepractice is as effective as in-person therapy for adults who stutter.…”

Stuttering, also known as stammering, is a speech disorder characterized by the repetition of sounds, syllables, or words; prolongation of sounds; and interruptions in speech known as blocks. Patients who stutter might resort to various strategies to overcome their problems, such as replacing problematic words or avoiding stressful situations [1]. In addition, communication failure and low self-confidence have significant impacts on the quality of life in patients who stutter [2]. Stuttering is a chronic disorder, so to achieve longterm treatment effects, patients are given the opportunity to continue therapy sessions if deemed necessary [3]. Although face-to-face healthcare delivery is considered a routine way of service delivery, sometimes accessing in-per

Background Lack of proper and timely patients' access to speech pathologists can affect the treatment and follow-up process; therefore, patients do not achieve the expected therapeutic goals. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of tele-rehabilitation on the stuttering patients using the goal attainment scaling (GAS). Methods This interventional study was carried out on patients who visited the rehabilitation centers affiliated to the Jahrom Welfare Office. They underwent remote speech therapy using Skype. To evaluate the treatment outcomes of the stuttering patients, GAS was used. Results The participants' speech and lingual skills improved using videoconferencing. The mean score of total GAS for patients was 53.08. Of 112 health goals, patients reached the expected or higher than expected levels in 78 goals. Conclusions Rehabilitation through video conferencing was effective for patients with stuttering, improved their speech, and decreased their stuttering. Since, application of remote rehabilitation services can provide regular access to healthcare services, it can lead to improving patient treatment provide more frequent and faster treatment follow-up.
