Abstract: Smart Physiotherapy: Artificial Intelligence, Emerging Technologies, and Digital Transformation in Human Rehabilitation explores the intersection of rehabilitation sciences and technological innovation. The book examines the evolution of physical therapy toward digital health ecosystems, emphasizing the integration of artificial intelligence, computer vision, and machine learning for biomechanical assessment and clinical decision-making. It further analyzes the application of rehabilitation robotics, smart exoskeletons, wearable sensors, and immersive environments (virtual and augmented reality) in motor retraining. The text highlights telerehabilitation and hybrid care models while reinforcing the critical necessity of preserving a human-centered, ethical approach where data supports clinical reasoning to enhance patient autonomy and quality of life.
