Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The main goals of medical rehabilitation are to minimize the functional consequences of health troubles and to improve the quality of patients' life. Every single medical situation requires an original multi-professional rehabilitation approach to achieve those goals in an optimal way. In professional language, it is usual to determine each single "event" as an "Individual Rehabilitation project".
The whole joint "rehabilitation journey" of a patient, family, rehabilitation doctor, and staff usually begins in the acute medical department, continues to a sub-acute rehabilitation setting, and finales at home in outpatient community clinics. It can be defined as a "Rehabilitation Management Plan", which must follow approved documents and guidelines. Those, indeed, are influenced by the specific healthcare system but also based on scientific studies' results. Introduction, including scientific background and highlighting the importance of this research area.
We are pleased to invite you to be part of this important goal and to provide your studies to this Special Issue.
- This Special Issue aims to contribute to the development of evidence-based knowledge in order to improve rehabilitation management principles in various healthcare systems. It is extremely important for the development of effective clinical practice for growing rehabilitation demands around the globe.
- In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:
- Management and clinical aspects of different rehabilitation inpatient and outpatient settings.
- Rehabilitation quality and effectiveness assessment tools.
- Rehabilitation staff, including rehabilitation doctors' professional activity analysis.
- Studies, based on local and national medical rehabilitation experience.
- Comparative studies of different management models and protocols in the same area.
- Cross-sectional studies for cultural adaptation in rehabilitation in specific areas and countries.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
