Abstract

Digital tools are reshaping rehabilitation by improving access, monitoring, and personalized care. Tele-rehabilitation, motion tracking, and AI-based apps help therapists work more efficiently. In Pakistan, limited resources and digital readiness hinder progress. Investing in affordable, locally relevant technologies and training can expand rehabilitation services and enhance patient outcomes.
