Abstract

The integration of Virtual Reality (VR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare can significantly improve patient outcomes, particularly in physiotherapy. Combining VR and AI enhances accuracy and personalization in physiotherapy, ushering in a new era of patient centered rehabilitation. VR and AR use input devices to gather data on body position, movement, and the environment, and output devices to deliver sensory feedback, including visuals, vibrations, and sounds.1
