摘　　要：Diabetes has become an increasingly important health problem worldwide due to its prevalence.Although effective treatments for diabetes management have been developed,many patients have difficulty in achieving their therapeutic goals.Regular exercise training is suggested to prevent or delay the symptoms and complications of type 2 diabetes along with other medical treatments.It has become necessary to develop new rehabilitation models and practices in order to cope with the changing needs of the population.Treatment models using technology can be effective in disease management.Telerehabilitation may be effective as part of the rehabilitation program in the home environment,especially for patients who are unable to participate in conventional center-based rehabilitation due to transport difficulties or work resumption.Telerehabilitation is defined as the delivery of rehabilitation services via telecommunication technology,including phone,internet,and videoconference communications between the patient and health care provider.It is possible that telerehabilitation may benefit people with type 2 diabetes in similar ways with telemonitoring and interactive health communication systems.Although the applicability of telehealth methods has been proven in previous studies,telerehabi-litation studies in type 2 diabetes are inadequate in the literature.With larger,multicentered randomized controlled studies,established clinical guidelines can be developed that will ultimately improve patient outcomes.
