In addition, 3 (25.0%) of the studies were conducted on brain injuries, 3 (25.0%) of the studies wereconducted on children, and 2 (16.7%) of the studies were conducted on the elderly. The delivered contents of thetelehealth services included encouraging occupational participation, cognitive training, motor and language functionimprovement, wheelchair skills training, and home modification. Telehealth was found to be effective inoccupational participation, quality of life, and some cognitive functions such as attention and visuo-motor scanning.
