Due to the pandemic, the online rehabilitation (telerehabilitation) sessions held by Istanbul Kültür University students continue.

Çınar, 3 years old children of Manolya and Kıvanç Alay couple living in İzmir, was diagnosed with DMD (Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy) when he was 1 year old after routine vaccination. Unable to crawl and step, Çınar baby took her first steps after physical therapy. Çınar's treatment, which was left unfinished due to the coronavirus epidemic, continues with online rehabilitation (telerehabilitation) carried out by Istanbul Kültür University students.

Prof. Dr. Burcu Semin Akel, Head of IKU Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Department, stated that the disruption experienced in practical training due to the pandemic was compensated by switching to online education say that ‘With the pandemic, our students' practical training was also restricted. Institutions providing physiotherapy and rehabilitation services also had to suspend their treatments with their patients with chronic diseases. We have designed a project to benefit these patients and to continue the education.We contacted KAS-DER and reached families. We both provided our students with summer internship opportunities and supported the treatment of our patients. Patients actually need to receive continuous physiotherapy and rehabilitation so that the muscle mass is not lost more and they do not become more dependent. In this process, our students have become better aware of their potential. They achieved spiritual satisfaction and success with remote application. We had a total of 32 groups of 2nd and 3rd grade students and many families were supported.
