Popis: Motor deficits in the growing population of stroke survivors continue to strain global healthcare capacities. The use of telerehabilitation to address this need has been discussed for over a decade without a clear consensus on development strategy or a clear market success. In this paper, the cyclic and iterative phases of the Planning, Execution, Assessment (PLEXAS) rehabilitation cycle are discussed, and the potential roles of an integrated telereha-bilitation platform within this cycle are presented. Some preliminary work on a multicenter project called TeleREHA is presented along with relevant clinical insight and discussion.
