This systematic review examines the role of robotic technology in enhancing Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) programs. It synthesizes evidence from various studies on the application of robotic systems, such as exoskeletons and robotic trainers, in improving cardiovascular fitness, physical function, and overall quality of life in patients undergoing CR. The review includes randomized controlled trials and observational studies that assess the efficacy of robotic-assisted interventions compared to traditional CR methods. Findings indicate that robotic systems can provide controlled, adaptable, and repetitive exercises, potentially leading to significant improvements in rehabilitation outcomes. However, challenges such as high costs, technical complexity, and the need for further long-term studies are identified. The review highlights the potential benefits of integrating robotics into CR programs and calls for future research to address existing gaps and optimize implementation strategies.
