Innovations in Robotic-Assisted Physiotherapy

Abstract

Earlier robotic physiotherapy was constricted to specifically gait and movement training, but with recent advancement, it is expanded to dexterous hand and robotic limbs, which are not only improving patient recovery outcomes but also building maximum functional ability. Paradigm shift to incorporating robot assisted physiotherapy in practice requires a comprehensive and detailed knowledge about the same. This chapter embarks on an expedition into the convergence of robotics and physiotherapy, meticulously navigating through the avant-garde technologies and methodologies that are orchestrating a paradigmatic shift in patient care, thereby fostering a person's enhanced outcomes. By illuminating the dynamic interplay of these two domains, this chapter elucidates the transformative potential they hold in revolutionizing patient care, invigorating the trajectory of recovery, and sculpting a landscape of holistic wellness.
