Abstract:
As Unprecedented development and growth of human socio-economic systems followed the invention of
the steam engine, the recent emergence of machines with artificial intelligence has allowed human
cognitive abilities to recognize previously hidden patterns in huge datasets. These changes affected every
aspect of society, including but not limited to the social, economic, educational, medical, legal, and moral
systems, and may have had a greater impact on human progress than the mechanical revolution brought
about by the steam engine. In the near future, doctors will work with large information networks, which
will lead to the need for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for the health of patients. This article focuses
on explaining the potential impact and scope of AI-based technologies on the practice of physical therapy,
as well as the subsequent ways in which physical therapy education must transform into fit professionals
in the 21st century healthcare system.
