By connecting these parties to the Internet of Things, data about body status is collected and analyzed in real time, enabling personalized and responsive care. Smart limbs include microprocessors that evaluate data to ensure the prosthesis is compatible with changing body needs, such as adjusting rigidity or supporting movement based on user activity.<br />Using IoT technologies, patients' condition can be monitored remotely without the need for frequent hospital visits. This is used to deliver what is known as smart rehabilitation, where continuous data is collected on gait pattern, degree of activity, and pain, allowing doctors to quickly adjust rehabilitation plans based on graphical analysis performed using artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. Sensors are used to measure limb wear or change state over time. This maintenance depends
