Cramer et al. showed noninferiority of dose-matched home telerehabilitation for Fugl-Meyer change (adjusted difference 0.06 points, 95% CI \u22122.14 to 2.26; p\u2009=\u2009.96). Shamweel and Gupta found no post-treatment FMA-UE difference (p\u2009=\u2009.337). Saygili et al. reported significant group-by-time interactions for FM-UE (p\u2009=\u2009.001) and FIM (p\u2009=\u2009.006), but Tele-CIMT was added to a home-exercise program and was not dose matched. Chen et al. found no differential Modified Barthel Index trajectory (group-by-time p\u2009=\u2009.897). Two trials were judged low risk of bias and two had some concerns. Certainty was very low for motor and ADL outcomes because of inconsistency, indirectness, and imprecision, with additional risk-of-bias concerns.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Telerehabilitation can produce clinically relevant gains, and one adequately powered dose-matched trial supports noninferiority for arm motor recovery. The evidence does not establish general superiority over equivalent in-person rehabilitation.
