PHYSIOTHERAPIST IS AN IRREPLACEABLE LINK IN THE AGE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE REHABILITATION

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming healthcare, particularly in rehabilitation, by enabling datadriven decision-making, remote monitoring, and precision-based interventions. However, rehabilitation is not merely a mechanical process—it is deeply rooted in human interaction, empathy, and contextual clinical reasoning. This article explores the evolving synergy between AI and physiotherapy, emphasizing why physiotherapists remain irreplaceable despite technological advancements. It highlights the complementary roles of AI and human expertise, clinical implications, and future directions in modern rehabilitation.
