With the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, many essential health services were affected. Rehabilitation services, became partially, or completely disrupted in most of the world countries and communities. However, the pandemic brought with it new opportunities for telerehabilitation design and also a chance for re-evaluating the way the rehabilitation services could be delivered. Based on the literature reviewed, a framework for enhancing the telerehabilitation capacity vs the type of demands expected are reviewed. The paper opens a new way of thinking about what are the value-added services that need to be delivered to ensure productive lean telerehabilitation services spread and can be sustained.
