Abstract: This work investigate temporal planning to synthesize personalized physical rehabilitation programs. The first contribution of the work concerns the representation of (heterogeneous) clinical and spatial constraints into a planning framework. The second contribution is the integration of numerical and symbolic reasoning to synthesize technically valid and coherent plans with respect to different clinical objectives. The experimental section discusses the developed planner from a technical view, assessing solving and personalization capabilities, and from a clinical view, assessing the efficacy of plans on the involved patients.
