Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This 2nd Edition Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers and practitioners to explore the latest advancements in the diagnosis, management, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal disorders. Musculoskeletal disorders encompass a wide range of conditions, affecting fascia, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other supporting structures of the body. These disorders pose significant challenges to patients and healthcare professionals alike, requiring a multidisciplinary approach for effective treatment and care.
This Special Issue seeks to address the key topics related to musculoskeletal disorders, including but not limited to diagnostic techniques, novel imaging modalities, therapeutic interventions, rehabilitation strategies, and patient outcomes. Submissions in the form of original research articles, review papers, and case studies that shed light on various aspects of musculoskeletal disorders, spanning from basic science to clinical applications, are welcome.
Dr. Antonio Stecco
Guest Editor
