Abstract:
After two years of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, cases have generally begun to decline in the different regions of the world, and consequently a lot of people are gradually returning to face-to-face interactions, including health-related activities. Based on scarce local literatures published recently, telerehabilitation was envisioned to be a viable solution to bridge the perennial gaps in the delivery of rehabilitation services across the Philippine archipelago, such as the lack of manpower and resources, aggravated by the pandemic.
