Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Healthcare, entitled ‘New Advances in Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation”, is now welcoming the submission of research articles. This international, peer-reviewed scientific journal publishes original theoretical and empirical work across all aspects of medicine and healthcare research. For detailed information on the journal, please visit its website.
The field of sports medicine and rehabilitation is rapidly evolving, integrating advanced diagnostic tools, evidence-based treatment protocols, and innovative exercise-based rehabilitation strategies to optimize patient outcomes. Accurate diagnosis and effective management are crucial for treating sports-related injuries and chronic conditions, facilitating recovery, preventing further complications, and ensuring long-term functionality. This Special Issue aims to advance the understanding of diagnostic and assessment techniques, exercise-based strategies, and management protocols to enhance the quality of care for athletes and patients recovering from musculoskeletal and other sports-related injuries, or ones with chronic conditions such as neurological disorders. We invite high-quality submissions, including observational studies, experimental research, and systematic reviews, which explore innovative assessment and diagnostic techniques, management practices, and rehabilitation strategies in sports medicine. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, advanced imaging techniques, new assessment methods of functional and neuromuscular capacity, efficacy of exercise-based rehabilitation programs, and integration of technology into treatment plans. Randomized controlled trials that evaluate the effectiveness of novel interventions or comprehensive rehabilitation programs are particularly encouraged.
We look forward to your valuable contributions to this Special Issue.
Dr. Sergio Maroto Izquierdo
Guest Editor
