This advanced course teaches rehabilitation practitioners and students to verify AI-generated movement analyses, exercise recommendations, recovery forecasts, pain assessments, and remote-monitoring alerts. Learners apply MOVE, LOAD-R, RISK-R, and SCOPE-A frameworks across simulated multidisciplinary patient encounters while addressing patient safety, informed consent, documentation, and professional scope.

Syllabus

  • Evaluate AI-generated movement analysis outputs (e.g., markerless motion capture, pose estimation, gait analytics) using the MOVE verification framework.
  • Verify AI-generated exercise load and progression recommendations using the LOAD-R framework before clinical implementation.
  • Interpret AI recovery predictions and return-to-function forecasts, distinguishing probabilistic outputs from deterministic clinical conclusions.
  • Assess AI-generated biomechanical and gait analyses from wearables, smart insoles, and pressure mapping systems using anatomical and biomechanical knowledge.
  • Use AI tools to support biopsychosocial assessment in chronic pain without reducing complex patient experiences to algorithmic labels.
  • Evaluate AI-driven remote monitoring systems (e.g., telerehabilitation analysis, fall detection, adherence tracking) using the RISK-R safety protocol.
  • Identify when AI outputs approach or exceed professional scope of practice using the SCOPE-A framework.
  • Apply AI tools across movement analysis, load management, chronic pain monitoring, ethics, and specialist rehabilitation practice using structured clinical verification frameworks while maintaining patient safety and professional scope.
  • Evaluate AI-generated movement analysis outputs using the MOVE verification framework, distinguishing between AI-detected movement patterns and clinically meaningful dysfunction while recognising failure modes in markerless motion capture and gait analysis tools.
  • Apply the LOAD-R framework to verify AI-generated exercise dose and load recommendations, interpret recovery trajectory forecasts as probability-based predictions, and identify high-risk populations where AI load models carry the greatest risk of misapplication.
  • Analyse AI-generated biopsychosocial risk scores for chronic pain without communicating diagnostic labels to patients and apply the RISK-R safety protocol to evaluate remote monitoring AI alerts before clinical escalation.
  • Implement the SCOPE-A framework to protect professional registration boundaries when AI tools generate recommendations beyond scope, and apply allied health-specific informed consent and documentation requirements for AI-assisted practice.
  • Evaluate AI applications specific to physiotherapy, occupational therapy, chiropractic, podiatry, osteopathy, and exercise physiology, identifying discipline-specific failure modes, scope sensitivities, and clinical validation requirements.
  • Integrate the MOVE, LOAD-R, RISK-R, and SCOPE-A frameworks across six simulated patient encounters to demonstrate safe, defensible AI-assisted rehabilitation decision-making in a multidisciplinary clinical environment.
  • Design a personal AI learning plan for rehabilitation practice by applying foundational frameworks in supervised clinical contexts, articulating AI literacy competencies for job interviews, and understanding the student medico-legal position in AI-assisted environments.
