Clinical Rehabilitation

A section of Journal of Clinical Medicine (ISSN 2077-0383).

Section Information

With the aging of society worldwide, increasing numbers of people are experiencing impairments and disabilities such as physical impairment, cognitive impairment, frailty, and comorbidity. These are associated with an increased incidence of adverse healthcare outcomes, including hospitalization, poorer quality of life, and increased healthcare expenditure. The number of people who need rehabilitation has increased dramatically.

Recent work in rehabilitation has made great progress. There are numerous randomized controlled studies in every field of rehabilitation. The outcome of rehabilitation, such as cardiac rehabilitation, is classified as Class I and Evidence A. Rehabilitation services are delivered quicker (stroke, etc.), more widely (heart failure, renal failure, pulmonary hypertension, etc.), and for longer (not only in the acute and recovery stage, but also in the maintenance stage and before the surgery) in order to obtain better outcomes.

Rehabilitation generally aims to "add years to life" by helping patients with impairments achieve and utilize their full physical, mental, and social potential. However, growing evidence suggests that rehabilitation for patients with visceral impairment, such as renal, cardiac, and pulmonary impairment, can not only improve exercise performance and the health-related quality of life, but also increase survival. Therefore, rehabilitation for patients does not simply aim to "add years to life " but “add years to life and life to years", which is a new rehabilitation concept.

Furthermore, advances in robotics and artificial intelligence, as well as the emergence of regenerative medicine, are expected to dramatically change the content and effectiveness of traditional rehabilitation techniques.

The journal brings together the experience of clinicians, rehabilitation specialists, and researchers from different regions and countries to gain new perspectives on the vision and treatment of disorders addressed in clinical rehabilitation.

We solicit cutting-edge research reports and overviews in relation to rehabilitation. We sincerely welcome your submission to the Journal of Clinical Medicine. Our readers are waiting for your contribution to Clinical Rehabilitation.
