abstract = {Rehabilitation in healthcare systems provides therapy and training to restore quality life after certain illness, addiction or accident. Currently, there is a significant unmet need for rehabilitation services, and it is frequently undervalued in the health system. As populations age and the prevalence of noncommunicable diseases and injuries increases, and the demand for rehabilitation grows, strengthening rehabilitation in health systems becomes ever more paramount. Conventional rehabilitation service can be costly and time consuming to people not living near the rehabilitation centres. Often people with lower income who live in rural areas refuse rehabilitation services due to the logistic issue. On the other hand, in urban areas, most people are too busy with their daily activities and unable to keep their therapy schedule consistently. In consequence, patients do not enjoy the actual benefit of rehabilitation because of a certain limitation such as cost and time. These limitations can be surpassed by putting telerehabilitation, an emerging area of performing rehabilitation medical treatment with the use of technology from a distance into practice. Scientific studies of telerehabilitation in the current literature are discussing primarily in the area of readiness, technologies, and illnesses such as children autism and heart failure. However, there is limited evidence about telerehabilitation service for stroke patients, concentrating on the pre-implementation and implementation stages, which makes this paper viable and significant, potentially for telerehabilitation implementation in Malaysia. This paper proposes a new conceptual model of hybrid telerehabilitation that combines several technological principles, such as cloud, virtual reality, and computer-based system. The model was derived based on a study of a public tertiary hospital in Malaysia. The current traditional system was investigated and discussed. A new telerehabilitation model is proposed to widen the access for rehabilitation to patients of all ages. © 2019 IEEE.},

abstract = {Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurological and developmental disorder that affects one's ability to understand social cues and to communicate. As it begins early in childhood and can last throughout a person's life, it is important to have an early intervention and rehabilitation. Previous research has shown that robotic platforms helped and encouraged positive outcome in ASD children rehabilitation. Early interventions through human-robot interaction (HRI) have the potential when used to improve communication and social skills of the children. In this research, a new framework has been developed featuring a robot and human interaction modules. A commercial robot, Rero has been adopted and used as the interaction medium. This robot has been selected based on its reconfigurable capability and ability to be developed into many forms. It is also mobile, speech enabled, controllable, programmable, and attractive. Five modules of interaction have been developed and approval from special education teachers and therapists has been sought. The modules are created to help the children to be able to imitate actions, follow instructions, name objects, as well as to focus and match colours. Observations from the experiment shows that the children enjoyed the interaction modules with a median of more than 70% of scores and were well engaged with the robots with certain type of modules. © 2019 IEEE.},

Through some researches, robot seems to have the ability to improve the communication skills of the children with autism. An interactive robotic platform has been developed taking into consideration the robot appearance and features to encourage positive outcome in the rehabilitation of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) children. The interaction between the robot and the child included language skills, eye contact, imitation behavior, facial expression and movement of the robot. Here, a high-level controller is integrated to the system to help therapist monitors the children's reactions towards the robot. In result, the developed robot has the ability to help therapist to diagnose and conclude the therapy session in a shorter period. © 2017 IEEE.},

The extent of the use of humanoids in augmenting these children are numerous yet, the social inclusiveness in the form of religious values, spirituality and ethics have hardly been explored. In these new and ambiguous dimensions, evidences of inclusiveness through repeated observations and interviews as well as secondary data analyses formed the hybrid methodology for this research project. The findings revealed a positive influence by humanizing humanoids in the social skill augmentation, religious and spiritual enhance of the scope. In attempting such a sensitive project, proper ethical procedures have to be in place because of the focus group. The implications of the findings are important in drafting relevant policies not just in educating the children, but to improve their quality of life, enriching the family well-being and enhance societal awareness for social inclusiveness. © 2017 The Authors.},

abstract = {Research evidences are accumulating with regards to the potential use of robots for the rehabilitation of children with autism. The purpose of this paper is to elaborate on the results of communicational response in two children with autism during interaction with the humanoid robot NAO. Both autistic subjects in this study have been diagnosed with mild autism. Following the outcome from our first pilot study; the aim of this current experiment is to explore the application of NAO robot to engage with a child and further teach about emotions through a game-centered and song-based approach. The experiment procedure involved interaction between humanoid robot NAO with each child through a series of four different modules. The observation items are based on ten items selected and referenced to GARS-2 (Gilliam Autism Rating Scale-second edition) and also input from clinicians and therapists. The results clearly indicated that both of the children showed optimistic response through the interaction. Negative responses such as feeling scared or shying away from the robot were not detected. Two-way communication between the child and robot in real time significantly gives positive impact in the responses towards the robot. To conclude, it is feasible to include robot-based interaction specifically to elicit communicational response as a part of the rehabilitation intervention of children with autism. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.},
