Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Musculoskeletal and cardiorespiratory rehabilitation have evolved significantly due to the advancements in therapeutic approaches, the development of new technologies, and the growing integration of evidence-based strategies. This Healthcare Special Issue aims to gather innovative research, systematic reviews, and clinical reports that enhance our understanding and application of novel rehabilitation strategies for these conditions.
This Issue will cover topics such as movement-based therapies, physiotherapeutic interventions, predictive models for functional recovery, the use of assistive technology and artificial intelligence in rehabilitation, as well as strategies to optimize physical and functional performance across different populations. Studies on biomarkers, neuromuscular fatigue, the impact of chronic conditions, and personalized rehabilitation approaches are also encouraged.
We welcome original submissions of clinical trials, experimental studies, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, observational studies, and case reports that highlight the groundbreaking developments in this field. We hope this Special Issue will contribute to the expansion of scientific knowledge and the implementation of novel therapeutic strategies in musculoskeletal and cardiorespiratory rehabilitation.
