Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Thank you for your excellent responses to the first edition of this Special Issue. In this second edition, we maintain the focus on similar topics, such as the importance and beneficial effects of occupational therapy. In acute or chronic neurological disease, there is evidence showing that occupational therapy helps to prevent disability, improve functional recovery, promote the development of children with problems, and generate fewer dependency situations.
While the role of occupational therapy has been recognized by the World Health Organization and multiple scientific societies, further scientific dissemination is still necessary. There are unanswered questions on some particular aspects of great relevance for occupational therapy; addressing these research challenges will improve not only the understanding of the field but also the recovery outcomes of patients undergoing neurorehabilitation.
This Special Issue aims to disseminate knowledge about the recent advances in occupational therapy for neurorehabilitation.
We call upon clinicians and researchers to contribute works focused on improving the levels of participation and activity, as well as the bodily functions and structures, of people with congenital, acquired, or progressive/degenerative brain damage.
We welcome the submission of original research (experimental or descriptive), the validation of evaluation tools, review articles, case series, and case reports.
