E-Rehabilitation: One solution for patients with Parkinson's disease in COVID-19 era

Neurorehabilitation is hampered due to social distancing and fear due to the chance of getting coronavirus disease, 2019 (COVID-19). Home-based or community-based and outpatient-based rehabilitation are restricted temporarily to protect both patients and caregivers from COVID-19 infection. Lack of physical activities during lockdown may lead to worsening of various motor and non-motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) [1]. Therefore, to reduce the spread of the virus, digital rehabilitation (E-Rehabilitation) strategies should be adopted as an alternative mode to deliver rehabilitation services at the community level.
