Core Tip

Core Tip: Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are promising to revolutionize motor recovery in rehabilitation medicine. These technologies enable precise movement analysis, personalized treatment plans, and adaptive neurorehabilitation approaches using wearable sensors, virtual reality, augmented reality, and robotic devices. AI-driven telerehabilitation also facilitates remote monitoring and consultation. However, healthcare professionals must interpret AI-generated insights and prioritize patient safety. Ongoing research will determine the true potential of AI and ML in shaping the future of rehabilitation medicine.
