AI in Innobody

As an AI language model, I don't have real-time access to the latest news. However, I can provide you with some recent advancements in the field of physiotherapy up until my last knowledge update in September 2021. Please note that there may have been further developments since then. Here are a few notable trends and advancements in physiotherapy:

Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR): Physiotherapy is embracing VR and AR technologies to enhance patient engagement and rehabilitation outcomes. These technologies can create immersive environments for therapeutic exercises, balance training, pain management, and motor control rehabilitation.

Wearable Devices and Sensors: Wearable devices such as activity trackers, motion sensors, and biofeedback devices are being integrated into physiotherapy practice. These devices can provide real-time data on patients' movements, posture, muscle activity, and other relevant parameters. Therapists can use this information to personalize treatment plans and monitor progress remotely.

Tele-rehabilitation: Tele-rehabilitation allows patients to receive physiotherapy services remotely through video consultations and mobile applications. This approach has gained traction, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, as it enables access to care for patients who are unable to visit clinics physically.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Rehabilitation: AI algorithms are being developed and implemented in physiotherapy to assist with diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring. Machine learning models can analyze large amounts of patient data to identify patterns, predict outcomes, and recommend personalized interventions.

Robotics and Exoskeletons: Robotic devices and exoskeletons are increasingly used in physiotherapy to assist with movement training, gait rehabilitation, and strength training. These technologies can provide precise control and support during therapy sessions, aiding patients with mobility impairments.

Gamification and Mobile Applications: Mobile applications and gamification techniques are being employed to make physiotherapy exercises more engaging and motivating for patients. These apps often include visual feedback, progress tracking, and interactive games to encourage adherence to the prescribed rehabilitation programs.

Remember, these points reflect the state of the field up until September 2021. It's advisable to explore recent scientific literature, news articles, and professional physiotherapy organizations to stay updated on the latest advancements in the field.

Smartphones Get Smarter, Our Posture Gets Weaker

A Smartphone gets smarter, posture continues to get weaker. More than 70% of children present with a forward head posture. Forward head posture occurs when the head goes forward in relation to the shoulder. From the side, your ears should be aligned over the shoulders, if ears are in front of the shoulders and the head is flexed downward, this is called forward head posture, When the shoulders round forward and the chest drops and the middle of the back looks like slump-c, this is called postural hyperkyphosis.

Structure impacts function, when the body is out of proper alignment, it impacts normal development.

Tech neck posture is the modern culprit of pain & dysfunction. Did you know, When the head goes forward, the weight of the head increases? In proper posture the head weighs 10-12 pounds, at 15° it increases to 27 pounds at 30° increases to 40 pounds, at 45°- 49 pounds, and at 60° increases to 60 pounds, when you look down over the devices in Forward head posture, it can be adding up to 60 pounds of pressure on your necks. Even worse, imagine you spend every day in this position. It causes structural & neurological changes. Abnormal posture can lead to pain and dysfunction. Not only you can experience neck pain & tightness in your shoulders but slumped posture impacts your ability to function properly.

Did you know, that Uncorrected postural distortion patterns are associated with poor respiration, clumsiness, poor balance, neck & back pain, and headaches? When the body is slumped forward and down, it is more difficult to breathe, resulting in faster, shallower respirations, this is called hyperventilation. Hyperventilation is associated with stress and anxiety. Just by changing your posture, you can instantly breathe better. Slow & controlled respiration is associated with the calm, healing state of the nervous system and overall better function of the body. To help you thrive, it’s time to get your posture checked. Proper posture helps you feel better and function better.

Proper posture is fundamental.

If you have a smartphone & spend time looking down on to your devices, it’s time to get your posture corrected, your health depends on it. Because remember its posture by design not by circumstances.
