Abstract:

Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in the rehabilitation of individuals suffering from musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiopulmonary disorders. With advances in technology, the integration of innovative techniques such as robotics, artificial intelligence, and tele-rehabilitation has the potential to revolutionize patient outcomes. Despite the rapid advancements, significant challenges exist, including limited access to physiotherapy services, disparities in healthcare infrastructure, and the need for evidence-based practices. This study explores the advancements in physiotherapy, identifies the challenges faced by practitioners, and discusses the ethical and practical implications of emerging technologies in rehabilitation. A mixed-methods approach, including both qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys, was employed to assess the current state of physiotherapy practices, patient satisfaction, and the role of technology. The paper proposes recommendations for the future of physiotherapy, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration, ethical standards, and the integration of emerging technologies to enhance rehabilitation outcomes.
