Abstract

Aim. To study and summarize the main modern approaches to physical therapy, namely kinesiotherapy, robotic rehabilitation system and virtual platforms; to analyze their effectiveness in different clinical settings and the problem of individualization of rehabilitation programs and the need to develop personalized approaches to patients with different types of pathologies.

Materials and methods. The research materials were materials from scientific publications and thematic Internet sites. The methods of data systematization and generalization were used in the study.

Results. Physical therapy is an important component of medical care, especially for patients who need to recover from injuries, surgeries, or suffer from chronic diseases of the musculoskeletal system and nervous system. Recent decades have been marked by a significant development in physical rehabilitation methods, including the use of the latest technologies and interdisciplinary approaches. Kinesiotherapy is a method of physical therapy based on the use of motor activity to restore body functions. It is one of the most widespread and scientifically proven approaches to the treatment of various pathologies. Robotic rehabilitation systems are one of the most promising areas of modern medicine. Robotic exoskeletons and rehabilitation platforms provide the ability to perform movements with a high level of control and correction, which helps to avoid incorrect exercise performance and speeds up the recovery process. Virtual reality (VR) and telemedicine allow patients to participate in rehabilitation programs in a safe and controlled environment that can be adapted to their needs. A literature review has shown that the use of a personalized rehabilitation program increases the effectiveness of a patient’s physical therapy.

Conclusions. Based on the analysis, it has been found that traditional methods of kinesiotherapy remain the basis of rehabilitation programs, but their effectiveness can be significantly improved through the use of innovative technologies, such as robotic systems, virtual reality and telemedicine platforms. In addition, the combination of different physical rehabilitation methods allow achieving better results in restoring the patients’ physical functions, which is confirmed by the results of many studies. The implementation of such comprehensive approaches can reduce rehabilitation time and improve the quality of life of patient.
