The integration of virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing patient rehabilitation by creating immersive, adaptive, and highly personalized therapeutic environments. By combining the interactivity of VR with the analytical capabilities of AI, rehabilitation programs can be tailored to individual patient needs, promoting faster recovery and greater engagement. This interdisciplinary approach enables real-time tracking of patient progress, adaptive exercise regimens, and predictive analytics for outcome optimization. The use of AI-driven algorithms to analyze biomechanical data and patient feedback ensures precise adjustments to therapy plans, enhancing efficacy and reducing the risk of re-injury. Furthermore, VR provides a safe and controlled environment for motor skill development, cognitive training, and pain management. Despite its transformative potential, challenges such as high implementation costs, data privacy concerns, and the need for specialized training remain barriers to widespread adoption. This research explores the synergistic application of VR and AI in patient rehabilitation, highlighting advancements, challenges, and future directions to foster a more accessible and effective rehabilitative care system.
