Funding treatment and rehabilitation processes for patients with musculoskeletal conditions is an important part of public health insurance in European Union countries. By 2030, these processes will be planned in national health strategies (sequential process activities will be identified, care packages will be defined, service standards will be described, roles in the implementation of activities will be distinguished). Today, in many countries of the world (including the EU countries), these processes tend not to be very effective and to be expensive for both patients and insurance companies. This article aims to raise awareness of the need for process re-engineering and describes possible tools for assessing patient treatment and rehabilitation processes (using electromyographic signals—EMG and selected Industry 4.0 solutions). This article presents the research methodology prepared for the purpose of process evaluation. The use of this methodology will confirm the hypothesis that the use of EMG signals and selected Industry 4.0 solutions will improve the effectiveness and efficiency of treatment and rehabilitation processes for patients with musculoskeletal injuries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
