AI-based Physiotherapy for Oral Cancer Patients
Sponsor: National Taiwan University Hospital
Summary
This study examines the effects of AI-based physiotherapy on oral function, shoulder function, whole-body physical function, and quality of life in oral cancer patients. One hundred patients will be recruited before surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy and randomly assigned to an experimental group receiving 12 weeks of AI-guided physiotherapy or a control group receiving usual care. Both groups will perform jaw, neck, and shoulder exercises, with the experimental group using a mobile app to monitor progress. Assessments at baseline, pre-intervention, and 3 months post-intervention will measure maximal in the maximum interincisal opening (MIO), joint range of motion (ROM), pain, endurance (e.g., 6-minute walk test), upper extremity function, and quality of life.
