THE INTERDISCIPLINARY PARADIGM OF MMT AND DIGITAL DYNAMOMETRY IN DESIGNING PERSONALISED NEURO-ORTHOPAEDIC REHABILITATION PATHWAYS POST-STROKE AND TOTAL JOINT ARTHROPLASTY

Modern rehabilitation medicine is shifting toward precision and objective diagnostics. Standardized protocols for post-stroke neuromuscular recovery and post-total joint arthroplasty (TJA) rehabilitation often overlook real-time biomechanical imbalances and neural adaptation rates. This structural oversight slows down functional recovery and leads to compensatory movement errors, muscle inhibition, and asymmetric joint degeneration.
