Background: The term digitalization is in trend. In addition to modernizing existing structures and converting analogue to digital processes, there are now a large number of digital applications available in the medical field. This is also increasingly influencing prehabilitation and rehabilitation.

Objective: The aim of this article is to provide an overview of digitalization options in the field of rehabilitation, taking the current literature into account.

Material And Methods: A systematic literature search was carried out on the topic of digitalization in rehabilitation, especially in relation to interventions and diseases of the knee joint, using among others PubMed and PEDro.

Results And Conclusion: Having arrived in "Rehabilitation 4.0", the networking of all infrastructures as well as the increasing use of artificial intelligence, the individualization of offers for healthcare companies and patients are playing an increasing role and are experiencing a real hype due to the supposedly infinite possibilities; however, the data situation on various digital offers in rehabilitation is inconsistent. The digital transformation provides many opportunities and challenges for rehabilitation, but despite all the euphoria it has to be critically questioned.
