Bots are becoming highly skilled assistants in physical therapy

Within the last decade, we've seen incredible progress in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence. Innovators have been seeking out ways to meld humans and machines and, in some areas, remove humans altogether. In AI, chatbots, self-driving cars, and voice recognition have all made significant strides. Perhaps most importantly, advances in AI and robotic technologies within health care are improving patient treatment and care. One area that's capitalizing on both technologies is physical therapy -- with a particular focus on people who suffer from mobility issues due to neurological injury.
