Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Musculoskeletal diseases are among the most prevalent in the population. This Special Issue aims to evaluate the pathophysiological causes of different diseases, clinical–diagnostic frameworks and treatment.
Rehabilitation science is a dynamic and multidisciplinary field dedicated to enhancing the health and quality of life of individuals through a comprehensive approach that integrates advanced clinical and diagnostic techniques. This Special Issue of Biomedicines aims to provide an expansive platform for the latest research and developments in rehabilitation, encompassing a wide range of areas, including musculoskeletal, neurological, geriatric care, etc. The aim of this Special Issue is to present groundbreaking research that drives innovation in rehabilitation practices. We welcome contributions that explore novel diagnostic tools, therapeutic interventions and holistic care strategies that address the complex needs of patients. This includes, but is not limited to, studies on physiopathogenesis, clinical biomechanics, diagnostic tests, neuroplasticity, cognitive and behavioral therapies, and interdisciplinary approaches to rehabilitation. In the realm of musculoskeletal disease, we seek papers that delve into advanced instrumental technologies and biomechanical assessments to improve the understanding and treatment of musculoskeletal impairments. Contributions in this area should aim to bridge the gap between biomechanical research and clinical practice, offering insights into effective treatment modalities that enhance patient outcomes. Our goal is to promote the translation of cutting-edge research findings into practical, impactful solutions that revolutionize rehabilitation practices and significantly improve patient care across various domains.
We invite papers that present innovative solutions and approaches, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Orthopedic rehabilitation;
- Clinical and diagnostical evaluation;
- Physiopathogenesis of muscle, tendon and joint disease;
- Prevention of fall risks;
- Treatment of musculoskeletal disease;
- Neurological impacts on musculoskeletal health;
- Neurophysiological aspects of musculoskeletal disorders.
