Robotic technologies are increasingly used to support motor recovery. “Artificial intelligence finds application in rehabilitation through algorithms of data analysis and ‘machine learning’ that can be used to evaluate patient progress and optimize treatment plans. Also thanks to the analysis of clinical data and patient performance, offering doctors valuable information to improve clinical decision-making. Another crucial aspect is that of tele-rehabilitation, where the combination of robotics and AI allows in selected cases to facilitate remote therapy sessions, allowing patients to continue their rehabilitation journey at home”. Andrea explains this to Adnkronos Salute Bernetti, vice president of Simfer, la Italian Society of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicinewhich held its national congress in Padua.
On the research side, studies and projects on the frontier of science were presented during the congress exoskeletons. “They can be used to assist patients with motor disabilities, facilitating movement and promoting the reacquisition of motor functions. These devices – explains Bernetti, who gave a speech at the congress on digital applications for the treatment of low back pain with the use of a artificial intelligence system – are particularly useful in cases of spinal injuries, strokes or other neurological conditions where mobility is impaired robotics It also allows the customization of the intensity and duration of the exercises, adapting to the specific needs of each patient.”
John Iolasconfull professor of physical and rehabilitation medicine at the University of Campania ‘Luigi Vanvitelli’, was elected new president of Simfer. Iolascon, reports the scientific society, “has a long academic and scientific career behind him, has published over 400 articles and currently directs the multidisciplinary Department of Medical-Surgical and Dental Specialties. His experience in the field of rehabilitation and his research activity at an international level they make him a figure of great authority to lead Simfer in the next 3 years. Iolascon succeeds Giovanna Beretta, in office from 2021 to 2024, the first woman to hold the position of Simfer president”. Andrea Bernetti was elected to the position of general secretarywhile the new members of the Presidential Council are Ernesto Andreoli, Federica Bressi, Alessandro De Sire, Stefano Mazzon, Andrea Montis, Federico Posteraro, Antonio Robecchi Majnardi and Lia Rusca. Stefano Bargellesi, Silvia Galeri and Giulia Letizia Mauro were also elected as arbitrators, while the sole mayor will be Roberto Conte.
