Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The disciplines of physiotherapy and rehabilitation are experiencing fundamental changes in recent years. They are facing new challenges and new opportunity. A lack of staff, the aging population, the influence of climate, war, migration, and dwindling resources, and, especially, the divergation between research findings and clinical practice challenges lead to new needs in the field.
On the other side, a growing body of literature, technical as well as digital advances, including sensor- and app-based therapies, and the usage of artificial intelligence in routine work are opportunities to address these needs.
The disciplines are driven by a wide range of activities. Physiotherapy and rehabilitation specialists aim to develop valuable prognostic test batteries for return-to-sport decision-making purposes after injuries and accompany individual rehab components. Some are aware of the need to provide more sufficient treatment options for the aging population, like digitally supported or home-based approaches. Additionally, other rehabilitation specialists deal with more method-based approaches, like implementation science, the value of automated reviews, or artificial intelligence for the discipline. The Special Issue aims to cover a wide range of fundamental influential advances in both physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
