A systematic review of the application of deep learning techniques in the physiotherapeutic therapy of musculoskeletal pathologies

Physiotherapy is a critical area of healthcare that involves the assessment and treatment of physical disabilities and injuries. The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in physiotherapy has gained significant attention due to its potential to enhance the accuracy and effectiveness of clinical decisi...

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in physiotherapy has gained significant attention due to its potential to enhance the accuracy and effectiveness of clinical decision-making and treatment outcomes.
