description Rehabilitation medicine (RM) requires more personalisation than any other treatment in the medical domain. Additive manufacturing (AM) is a promising candidate for providing customised tools to improve performance but reduce cost and complexity of personalisation. Research and applications of AM in the RM field are receiving increasing attention. This paper aims to identify the research status and development trend via visual analysis of literature. At first, core publications from representative domain journals and conference proceedings were extracted as source data for the inputs of statistical analysis. Secondly, keyword visualisation analysis provides research hotspots and technological developments to summarise the research frontiers. Finally, visual knowledge graphs were constructed to show the emerging trends, including digital solutions, lifecycle treatment, and multiple-supporter rehabilitation services, in this special interdisciplinary field. Specially, digital methods with AM and associated services will be one of the principle roadmaps for personalised RM in the future.
