Neurorehabilitation

Dear Colleagues,

According to the WHO, the need for rehabilitation worldwide will increase due to changes in the health and characteristics of the population. For example, today people with neurological diseases are living longer, but may have more chronic diseases and disabilities. In the last few years, the development of new concepts for the neurorehabilitation of brain and spinal cord diseases has considerably broadened  the role of neurorehabilitative interventions, from acute treatment in the hospital and in-hospital rehabilitation to out-hospital rehabilitation and therapy at home.  However, health care resources are already overstretched, and for the future we need an improved, cost-effective patient management system. Furthermore, new approaches such as technology-assisted assessments and interventions, telerehabilitation or other therapeutic options at the patient’s home will optimize patient outcomes and quality of life.

For this Special Issue, we welcome research on a wide range of topics, including clinical and translational studies; studies using invasive and non-invasive brain stimulation; and technology-based interventions using robotics, wearable devices, virtual reality, or serious games.

We also welcome single case studies, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses on the topic of neurorehabilitation.
