A search of articles for this study was done in ICMR and WHO guideline article PubMed European journal Cochrane journal Google scholar science direct research gate JAMA oncology Bio-Med central. In total 23 articles were included out of which only five articles were found to fulfil the criteria of this study. The intervention program of included studies for cancer survivors were physical activity and therapeutic exercises through telehealth technologies. Assessments were done at baseline and after the intervention. European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 items EORTC-QLQ-C30 and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy FACT scales were used for the assessment of QOL. Our analyses of included articles demonstrated that five of the studies have shown large outcomes on physical activity as well as functional activity and small to moderate effect on QOL assessment. The results of this review study indicate that telerehabilitation can improve functional activity of daily living and cause an overall improvement in quality of life. Further more studies need to be conducted on telerehabilitation among different cancer diagnoses to gain better insight on effectiveness.nbsp
