Abstract :

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) often results in complex motor, cognitive, and sensory impairments that significantly challenge functional recovery. Physiotherapy plays a critical role in rehabilitation, yet optimizing outcomes requires continuous monitoring, individualized interventions, and high patient engagement. Wearable technology and digital feedback systems have emerged as innovative tools that offer real-time data, improve patient adherence, and enhance clinical decision-making. Beyond their clinical utility, these technologies also serve as powerful educational resources for patients, caregivers, and physiotherapy students. This article proposes an educational framework that integrates wearable devices, motion sensors, mobile applications, and digital biofeedback systems into TBI physiotherapy practice. The framework outlines how wearable-driven data supports teaching, assessment, and communication, ultimately improving patient autonomy and functional outcomes. Opportunities, challenges, and recommendations for implementation in academic and clinical settings are discussed.
