Telerehabilitation systems have emerged as a transformative solution in delivering remote therapy services, particularly in the wake of increased demand for accessible and continuous healthcare. This review explores the evolution, design, and implementation of telerehabilitation platforms, focusing on their application in physical, occupational, and speech therapy. It evaluates the effectiveness of these systems in enhancing patient outcomes, adherence to treatment, and cost-efficiency. The integration of technologies such as artificial intelligence, wearable sensors, and virtual reality is also discussed for their role in personalizing therapy and enabling real-time monitoring. Furthermore, this review highlights current challenges, including data privacy, digital literacy, and system interoperability, while outlining future directions for more inclusive and adaptive remote therapy management solutions.
