Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to announce a forthcoming special edition of Healthcare focusing on advancing the field of musculoskeletal injury management and rehabilitation. Musculoskeletal injuries result in significant changes in the patient’s function and quality of life. This requires the healthcare professional to implement innovative and comprehensive rehabilitation strategies to optimize patient outcomes.
This Special Issue aims to showcase new advances in musculoskeletal management and rehabilitation. We invite submissions that explore emerging interventions for musculoskeletal injury, therapeutic exercise strategies, therapeutic modalities, manual therapies, myofascial interventions, interprofessional collaboration and management of individuals with musculoskeletal injuries, and any novel approaches to musculoskeletal injury management and rehabilitation.
Submissions are encouraged to cover a wide range of topics within musculoskeletal injury management and rehabilitation, including but not limited to:
- Novel musculoskeletal injury rehabilitation interventions or protocols for musculoskeletal injury rehabilitation.
- Comparative trials of different therapeutic approaches for musculoskeletal injury and rehabilitation.
- Integration of technology in musculoskeletal injury rehabilitation programs.
- Multimodal approaches combining physical therapy, occupational therapy, and psychological interventions.
- Biomechanical assessments and interventions for musculoskeletal injuries.
- Rehabilitation outcomes and patient-reported measures.
- Interdisciplinary collaborations in musculoskeletal rehabilitation research.
We welcome original research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, clinical trials, case studies, and theoretical perspectives that contribute to advancing the understanding and practice in musculoskeletal injury management and rehabilitation.
By bringing together diverse perspectives and innovative research, this special edition aims to drive forward the field of musculoskeletal injury management and rehabilitation to help enhance patient care and outcomes.
We eagerly anticipate your valuable contributions to this important discourse.
Warm regards,
Dr. Russell T. Baker
