Rehabilitation, denoting the restoration of physical and cognitive functions following injury or illness, stands to derive substantial benefit from the integration of machine learning (ML) and big data. Given its longitudinal nature and the involvement of a multidisciplinary team, ML advancements present significant potential for applications in rehabilitation. Specifically, with the evolution of deep learning and sensing technologies, ML can proficiently analyze and interpret body movements, speech patterns, and cognitive activities, thereby providing comprehensive assessments in rehabilitation settings.

In the close interplay of physiological and psychological dimensions within rehabilitation, ML technologies also emerge as pivotal, such as robotic exoskeletons, interactive robots, and extended reality (xR) systems, capable of adapting in real-time based on a patient's progress, thereby providing a dynamic and responsive rehabilitation experience. Accurate measurement facilitated by ML not only informs healthcare specialists of physical progress but also instills motivation in patients to actively engage in their rehabilitation journey.

This special session in WCCI 2024 welcomes discussions and explorations of the multifaceted applications and future developments of ML in rehabilitation and healthcare applications.
