Data on demographics, diagnoses (grouped as mental health, neurological, chronic, post-traumatic, or unspecified), and outcomes (recovery, dropout, continued care) were collected using a structured form and analyzed with descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests (Wilcoxon, Kruskal-Wallis, chi-square, or Fisher\u2019s exact), with significance set at\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u2009.05.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      We analyzed 1572 patients receiving telerehabilitation.

Main services were physiatry (32%), psychosocial therapy (29%), and physiotherapy (27%). Most sessions were by phone (67.5%) and completed successfully (90%). Recovery was reported in 6.4% of cases; 13.3% completed treatment, 72.3% required ongoing care, and 3% dropped out.

The patterns of telerehabilitation utilization varied notably by age, sex, and diagnosis, highlighting the necessity of strengthening and adapting these services to improve health outcomes and ensure equitable access. Gaps remain in areas of telerehabilitation such as, mental health, cardiovascular diseases and ophthalmology, underscoring the need for broader implementation and integration across specialties.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/27536351251375637","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,1]],"date-time":"2025-10-01T13:54:34Z","timestamp":1759326874000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Telemedicine Challenges in Latin-America: Outcomes from Telerehabilitation Services During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Cali, Colombia\u2014A Retrospective Cohort Study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1414-151X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sara Gabriela","family":"Pacichana-Quinayaz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Research Group in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Universidad del Valle (GIRUV), Universidad del Valle, Cali, Colombia"},{"name":"Hospital Universitario del Valle, Evaristo Garcia ESE, Cali, Colombia"},{"name":"Fundaci\u00f3n Somos Ciencia al Servicio de la Comunidad, Fundaci\u00f3n SCISCO\/Science to Serve the Community Foundation, SCISCO Foundation, Cali, Colombia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3375-0276","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lina Mar\u00eda","family":"Rodr\u00edguez V\u00e9lez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Research Group in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Universidad del Valle (GIRUV), Universidad del Valle, Cali, Colombia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-5933-4802","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel","family":"S\u00e1nchez Cano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fundaci\u00f3n Somos Ciencia al Servicio de la Comunidad, Fundaci\u00f3n SCISCO\/Science to Serve the Community Foundation, SCISCO Foundation, Cali, Colombia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5275-8804","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Olga Marina","family":"Hern\u00e1ndez Orobio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Research Group in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Universidad del Valle (GIRUV), Universidad del Valle, Cali, Colombia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2733-7482","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mar\u00eda Ana","family":"Tovar S\u00e1nchez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pedagogy Department.
