AI-assisted physiotherapy: This study will recruit 15 oral cancer patients for feasibility testing, and the duration of participation for each subject is 4 to 6 weeks
Study summary
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 3 to 4 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.

Inclusion Criteria:

Primary outcome measure(s)
Feasibility and Intervention Adherence — At the post-intervention endpoint (4 to 6 weeks) Feasibility will be evaluated by calculating the study retention rate, defined as the percentage of enrolled participants who successfully complete the entire study protocol and the post-intervention assessment. Intervention adherence will be automatically tracked and recorded via the system server log data, calculated as the percentage of completed AI-prescribed exercise sessions out of the total prescribed sessions over the 4-to-6-week period.
System Usability and Acceptability — At the post-intervention endpoint (4 to 6 weeks) Evaluated using the Chinese version of the System Usability Scale (SUS). The SUS is a 10-item Likert scale providing a global view of subjective usability assessments. Scores range from 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate better usability and higher patient acceptability of the AI system.
