Effects of AI Based Physiotherapy on Mandibular Mobility, Shoulder Function, Physical Function, Quality of Life, and Return to Work in Oral Cancer Patients: 3- and 9-Month Postintervention Follow-Up

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the lasting effects of two rehabilitation methods, AI-based physiotherapy and conventional physiotherapy, in patients who have oral cancer. This follow-up study focuses on individuals who previously completed an earlier intervention trial, aiming to see if the initial benefits continue over time. The study specifically looks at functions like jaw movement, shoulder mobility, overall physical performance, quality of life, pain levels, and the ability to return to work. Participants from both groups—those who received AI-based physiotherapy and those who had conventional physiotherapy—will be assessed at 3 and 9 months after completing their treatments. No new treatments will be provided during this follow-up phase; only evaluations will be done to compare long-term outcomes between the two groups. During the study, participants will attend follow-up visits for assessments at the 3- and 9-month marks post-intervention. Researchers will measure outcomes using questionnaires that evaluate disabilities related to arm, shoulder, and hand function, as well as quality of life. They will also assess return-to-work status and monitor overall physical and functional health without providing additional therapies. The total participation time spans these two follow-up assessments.
