Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
People with neurological disorders often suffer from poor health outcomes, including reduced physical activity, co-morbidities and increased falls risk. Physiotherapy is an occupation concerned with providing rehabilitative strategies for individuals, including people with neurological disorders. Other allied-health professions play an important role in providing effective rehabilitation for people with diverse neurological disorders.
To garner knowledge from diverse perspectives, this special issue seeks research papers on various aspects of rehabilitation of people with neurological disorders. Such papers could include but not limited to: rehabilitation strategies for people with neurological disorders, analysis of tools to assess individuals’ impairments associated with their neurological disorders, strategies to enhance the quality of current treatments, and experimental research investigating impairments associated with neurological disorders.
We encourage the submission of multidisciplinary work and multi-country collaborative research. We also encourage the submission of new and hot-topic rehabilitation strategies, such as e-health and telehealth modalities for people with neurological disorders.
We welcome original research papers using different study designs, including qualitative research, feasibility studies, clinical trials and systematic reviews and meta-analysis.
