Technological Solutions for Low Back Pain Physical Therapy Real-time Monitoring with Feedback

Abstract

The advancement of technology may result in significant improvements in physical therapy in terms of sustained rehabilitation, interpretation, and long-term monitoring in a population suffering from low back pain with no identified cause or standardized treatment. The research on systems that monitor vital signs and movement data simultaneously during the physical therapy sessions must be expanded. The aim of the article is to perform analysis and discussion concerning the present technology solutions to monitor vital signs in combination with muscle activity and quality of movement in the light of physical therapy requirements and challenges for the population with secondary conditions. The conclusion – the literature review outcomes show contraindicatory results concerning the combination of sensor, technology use and the artificial intelligence algorithm real-time efficiency on providing information that will change the user’s habits and provide specific user targeted simple data interpretation. At the same time studies have proved that participants expressed greater engagement in self-management.
