With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI), its application in the rehabilitation of patients undergoing hip and knee arthroplasty has been increasingly emphasized. AI has the potential to enhance the precision and individualization of rehabilitation training, improve patient adherence, and optimize overall outcomes. This review summarizes the current progress of AI in postoperative rehabilitation following hip and knee arthroplasty, focusing on its roles in rehabilitation assessment, intelligent training, and remote rehabilitation. Furthermore, the advantages of AI in improving efficiency, accuracy, and patient engagement are highlighted, while existing challenges, including insufficient clinical evidence, high technological costs, and ethical concerns, are critically discussed. Finally, potential future directions, such as the integration of AI with virtual reality and wearable devices, are proposed. This review aims to provide valuable insights for clinical practice and future research in the rehabilitation of hip and knee arthroplasty.
