Of 1966 studies from the initial search in four databases and three specific telehealth journals, 20 sources met the inclusion criteria, limited to a focus on physical disability in India.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Findings showed examples of how people with disabilities can exercise increased control in the timing of appointments, convenience of receiving services from home and not having to travel to clinics or hospitals, and platform preference through tools and applications already familiar to them. Carers and families of people with disabilities were described as highly valued stakeholders with important roles in the uptake and effectiveness of telehealth for people with disabilities. The identified benefits of telehealth resulted in high levels of user satisfaction due to increased control and convenience, however, systemic barriers for accessibility remain.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This review suggested that if telehealth is not designed intentionally to change the status quo for people with disabilities and prioritize equity, then the benefits may not be sustainable.
