Abstract

Purpose: Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are transforming healthcare by streamlining repetitive tasks, analysing complex data, and supporting clinical decision-making. Physiotherapy, a profession that relies heavily on accurate patient assessments and personalised interventions, stands to benefit from these advancements. While these challenges have been explored in other healthcare disciplines, the ethical implications of AI in physiotherapy practice remain under-researched. Understanding how physiotherapy students perceive these issues is essential, as they represent the next generation of practitioners who will navigate the integration of AI into physiotherapy practice, research, and education. This study seeks to explore these perceptions, with the aim of informing educational curricula and policy while promoting the responsible use of AI in physiotherapy.
