Please answer True or False to the following:

1. Telerehabilitation can only be deployed on top of the Internet.
	True	False

2. Only practices that requires real-time interaction can be considered Telerehabilitation.
	True	False

3. Teleconsultation is usually described as the standard "face-to-face" telerehabilitation model using interactive videoconferencing.
		True		False

4. There is a trend of convergence between telemonitoring and telehomecare.
		True		False

5. Due to the high intensity requirement, teletherapy has to be done in a real-time setting.
		True		False

6. Low intensity telemedicine services can be delivered by using plain old telephone service (POTS).
		True		False

7. Telerehabilitation services usually require repetitive encounter over long period of time.
		True		False

8. The quadrant model can be used to analyze the service delivery, the mode of data transmission, and the data transmission speed.
		True		False

9. The unavailability of high-speed connection required for high-intensity services are often can be circumvented with the store-forward method of delivery for services that do not require live communication. 
		True	False

10. Longitudinal health record is needed to support telerehabiliation services because rehab services usually require continuous therapy over a long period of time.
		True	False

11. To transfer large files over low bandwidth connection in asynchronous TR service, constant connection over a long period of time is required. 
		True		False

12. Most telerehabilitation services fall into the High Intensity-Short Duration (HI-SD) quadrant.  
		True		False
 
13. The High-intensity interactive telemedicine requires a very high-speed and reliable network, such as dedicated network (ATM, ISDN).  
		True		False

14. The Internet becomes a great candidate to deploy Telerehabilitation network because of its security features.  
		True		False

15. Management of complex health information is not important in Telerehabilitation because data in rehabilitation services are simple.  
		True		False

16. The users of future TR system will be the public, rather than healthcare professionals. 
		True		False

17. Although the Internet holds promises for Telerehabilitation, its widespread adoption in rural areas still have to wait due to the low penetration rate of the Internet in the rural areas.  
		True		False

18. The Internet's advantage over other networks includes ease of access, scalability, and cost-effectiveness.
		True		False

19. There is no need to build specific Telerehabilitation data standard as Telerehabilitation's data need is the same as regular Telemedicine. 
		True		False

20. Usability is a key factor in adoption of technology, therefore development of a usable IT infrastructure to support telerehabilitation is crucial for the success of TR implementation. 
		True		False
