Background: Introduction Robotic technology has opened new therapeutic approaches as an innovative tool in neurorehabilitation, which offers repetitive task-specific, high-intensity training for individuals with neurological pathologies. Even though it is widely accepted all around the world, but its knowledge and usage remain limited to neuro physiotherapists in India. This research was to evaluate the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) level of robotic technology among

Neurophysiotherapists in Mumbai & Navi-Mumbai.

Method: An observational cross-sectional study was undertaken in 100 postgraduate neuro-physiotherapists with the application of a self-designed and expert validated questionnaire through e-platforms. The questionnaire had three components: knowledge, attitude and practice which were analysed by descriptive statistics in Micro soft Excel 2021.

Results: 65 of the respondents reported a high level of familiarity with robotic technology and technique (only 32% had formal education). People were familiar with devices, such as Lokomat (78%) and ReWalk (54%), and had a strong desire for either advanced training (79%). Attitude scores Overall, attitudes were positive; respondents generally felt that robot therapy is beneficial to the patient and more precise than other types of therapies. Yet, robotics use was low; 63 [28%] rarely or never used robotics. Key barriers to implementation were high cost (69%), technical maintenance problems (52%) and lack of training (36%) The most common conditions for which robotics was used were stroke (70%) and spinal

cord injury (52%).
