Abstract
The concept of telerehabilitation is central to the present century, where artificial intelligence (ai) is prevalent. Telerehabilitation in africa is fast becoming a key instrument in the primary healthcare (phc) sector. Telerehabilitation can provide access to rehabilitation services for people who may live in an area where there are challenges such as mobility or transport issues, making attending rehabilitation sessions difficult or impossible. Telerehabilitation refers to the use of information technology (it) to aid, assess and provide information to physically or cognitively impaired individuals (schwamm et al. 2009). Telerehabilitation can provide patients with easy access to rehabilitation services (cottrell et al. 2017). Telerehabilitation offers and promotes services through information and communication technologies (ict) to patients in their homes and other environments (brennan, mawson & brownsell 2009). Telerehabilitation empowers and enables individuals to take control of the management of their medical needs and interventions by enabling personalised care, choice and personal control (brennan et al. 2009).
