Neurological disorders are a leading cause of acquired disability worldwide, resulting in major motor, sensory, cognitive, and psychological deficits that profoundly reduce quality of life and create a substantial socioeconomic burden. Traditional rehabilitation methods, while essential, often place heavy physical demands on therapists and may have limited effectiveness in patients with severe impairments. The integration of robotics and technology-assisted therapy has emerged as a transformative solution, enabling intensive, repetitive, and feedback-based training that enhances neuroplasticity and accelerates functional recovery. Modern robotic systems, including exoskeletons, end-effector devices, and wearable robotics, are increasingly combined with complementary technologies such as virtual reality, brain–computer interfaces, and artificial intelligence to deliver more personalized, adaptable rehabilitation. This session will provide a comprehensive overview of recent clinical evidence on robotic and digital rehabilitation, highlighting feasibility, optimal dosing and intensity, and the role of technology in maximizing rehabilitation resources across a wide range of neurological conditions. Through expert presentations and interactive discussion, participants will gain actionable insights into the clinical applicability, future directions, and transformative potential of robotics and digital health in neurorehabilitation.
