Methods. It\nwas a descriptive cross-sectional study. To collect data, a researcher-designed questionnaire was developed. 141 rehabilitation\nexperts participated in the study. Results. A majority of faculty members (78%) and clinicians (89.7%) either were in ââ?¬Å?definite\nagreementââ?¬Â or ââ?¬Å?somewhat agreedââ?¬Â with implementation and application of this technology, which demonstrates an overall positive\nattitude. Discussion. Based on the positive attitudes of the majority of participants toward implementation and application of this\ntechnology and their preferences in offering different telerehabilitation services, it seems that there is an appropriate and desirable\nacceptance and administrative culture to implement this technology among rehabilitation experts in Tehran.
