Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will comprise a wide scope of coverage for the topic. Written by specialists worldwide, this Special Issue will present different topics and treatments for spinal rehabilitation and spinal deformity. These papers will examine the evidence relating to spinal deformities together with novel assessment tools, treatment modalities, biomechanics as well as the various types, benefits, and side effects of these diverse treatment approaches. In this special series “Advances and Innovations in the Management of Spinal Conditions and Disorders”. The included papers will be carefully selected with clinicians, researchers, patients and parents in mind. All of these stakeholders are important links in the management of spinal deformities and disorders. It is our hope that all will remain open to new ideas in the field and will be able to evaluate the material carefully and in ways that are objective and evidence based. We hope that the different papers in this Special Issue will stimulate readers to be original and innovative in their own centers in order to help our patients in the best way possible. We very much look forward to receiving your highly interesting papers (such as Primary research papers; RCTs cohort pre-post studies and potentially case studies (if of sufficiently high quality) qualitative papers, etc; second research, e.g., systematic reviews, narrative reviews).
