Revolutionizing Rehabilitation: Exploring the Integration of AI-Based Technology in Advancing Physiotherapy Practices for Enhanced Patient Outcomes

Abstract

The field of physiotherapy has witnessed a transformative shift with the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based technologies. This research paper delves into the revolutionary impact of AI in advancing physiotherapy practices, focusing on enhancing patient outcomes. By exploring recent developments, applications, and challenges, this study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the evolving landscape where technology intersects with rehabilitation. Through a mixed-methods approach, including a literature review, case studies, and interviews, the research analyzes the effectiveness of personalized treatment plans, real-time monitoring, and AI-driven decision support for physiotherapists. The findings reveal significant improvements in patient-reported outcomes, functional metrics, and treatment adherence, supported by positive physiotherapist experiences. Ethical considerations and challenges are discussed, emphasizing the potential of AI to revolutionize physiotherapy and shape the future of rehabilitative care.
