Abstract: Recently, the use of robots, virtual reality systems and many new technologies has been extensively considered in rehabilitation studies and applications. By the combination of these technologies and new communication systems, a new subfield of rehabilitation known as tele-rehabilitation has been born and is developing widely in the modern world. The presented paper offers a short review of tele-rehabilitation systems with a special focus on upper extremity rehabilitation therapy. Firstly, two main technologies, which are used in these systems, are introduced. These new technologies include rehabilitation robots and virtual reality systems. Afterward, a brief introduction of tele-rehabilitation systems is presented.
