Introduction[edit | edit source]

Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be viewed as the fourth industrial revolution and the emerging frontier in medicine.[1] AI refers to the capability of a machine to perform a functional task overseen insightfully by humans. AI applies algorithms to learn, think, and then ultimately aide various clinical practices such as eg.radiology and rehabilitation. AI also is used to find current wide scoping clinical information from journals, books, and evidence-based practice, all helping in clinical decision-making in healthcare. Moreover, AI technologies aides in the reduction of medical errors in health care practices.[2]

The emploring of AI technologies is swiftly growing in health care and rehabilitation. As PTs' we need to increase our awareness its manifold applications in rehabilitation to provide best practice patient care.[2]


Sport Medicine/Orthopaedics[edit | edit source]

Current studies looking at the enactment of AI in the areras of orthopaedic surgery and sports medicine show promise in predicting athlete injury risk, the interpretation of medical imaging, evaluating patient-reported outcomes etc. However as with all new knowledge this emerging technology will require a elemental working comprehension of the strengths, limitations, and applications of AI-based tools.[2]
