About this trial

This study aims to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and acceptability of a newly developed artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted physiotherapy system for oromandibular and neck-shoulder range of motion (ROM) in patients who have undergone treatment for oral cancer.

In this single-group, prospective, non-randomized pilot study, recruited participants will receive 4 to 6 weeks of AI-assisted physiotherapy. Participants will undergo a comprehensive clinical evaluation at baseline and post-intervention. During the intervention period, the AI system will perform a daily automated assessment to dynamically generate and adjust personalized exercise programs. Participants will perform these prescribed programs 4 to 6 times daily. Pre- and post-intervention changes, along with key feasibility parameters, acceptability, and safety metrics, will be statistically analyzed to inform future definitive trials.
