The aim of this study was to assess the awareness, attitude, and knowledge of Robotic technologies used in neurorehabilitation among Physiotherapy interns and Professionals across Maharashtra. A cross-sectional study was conducted in tertiary care hospitals and colleges in Maharashtra, India, using a self-made questionnaire. The results showed that 63% of the individuals are moderately aware, 67% have a positive outlook on the implementation of such advances but only 7.5% have accurate knowledge of the technology and its uses. Most of the participants also believe that Robotic Rehabilitation can be very time effective and reduce the load of the therapist as well as play a very important role in aiding neuroplasticity after rehabilitation. The study demonstrated that a higher degree of understanding and a more positive attitude regarding the application of Robotic Rehabilitation follow from heightened awareness of this field. Enhanced training programs, better integration of technology into rehabilitation practices, addressing time constraints and workload prioritization, and most importantly, overcoming economic barriers will ensure the effective implementation of Robotic therapies for the benefit of the patient and society as a whole. This will revolutionize the field of Physiotherapy and rehabilitation, offering new avenues for improving treatment outcomes and advances in clinical practice. The study concluded that, it is important to generate or enhance awareness towards the most-advancing fields and the uses of Robotic technology in neurological conditions in clinical practice which empowers Physiotherapy to adapt to the changing landscape of healthcare and deliver high-quality, patient-centered care.
