Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic caused an expressive demand for physical therapy telerehabilitation - a telehealth modality – especially due to social isolation and the high number of patients with post-Covid syndrome sequelae. Therefore, Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) emerge as an alternative to conventional treatment. This study aimed to demonstrate an overview of the main ICTs and how they are being used ​​in telerehabilitation, through patent search (Orbit Intelligence®) and bibliometric prospecting (Pubmed, PEDro and Cochrane). The results showed technologies and devices (smartphones, applications) that have enabled various forms of telerehabilitation, which serve as a tool for health professionals to continue providing care. Furthermore, they demonstrate that a scientific production (12.660 articles) is superior to a technological production (89 patents), evidencing inadequacy of technology transfer. It is concluded that there are enough ICTs, tools and devices to offer telerehabilitation in an adequate, accessible way and with potential for the development of innovations.
