Emerging Role of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics in Physiotherapy

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is an area of computer science with a mathematical foundation that can potentially improve the healthcare system through innovative delivery methods, well-informed decision-making, and the promotion of patient engagement. It is widespread in the healthcare system and can be programmed to perform a certain task. AI will expedite diagnosis, improve performance, and produce reliable findings for patients and healthcare professionals. An essential member of the medical team is the physiotherapist. They are an integral part of contemporary clinical practice. Various advancements in AI and robotics can be used in physiotherapy for various rehabilitation protocols for improvement and better quality of life (QOL). Intelligent systems analyze patient data to tailor interventions, while robotic devices assist in precise, repetitive movements for targeted therapy. This synergy between technology and physiotherapy promises more effective and individualized care.
