Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are among the most common causes of pain and disability worldwide, significantly impacting individuals’ quality of life and contributing to the global healthcare burden. Advances in therapeutic and rehabilitative approaches are crucial to improving patient outcomes, promoting recovery, and enhancing functional capacity.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue entitled “Innovations in Recovery and Pain Management for Musculoskeletal Disorders”, which aims to explore innovative therapies, diagnostic advancements, and evidence-based rehabilitation strategies for managing musculoskeletal disorders. By fostering interdisciplinary research and collaboration, we seek to provide insights into the optimization of care for individuals affected by MSDs.
In this Special Issue, we welcome original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and clinical case studies that address topics including, but not limited to:
- Novel therapeutic interventions for MSDs;
- Advances in physical therapy and rehabilitation techniques;
- Diagnostic and imaging innovations in musculoskeletal medicine;
- The role of technology, including wearables and telemedicine, in MSD management;
- Integrative approaches to managing chronic pain and disability in MSD
We encourage submissions from researchers, clinicians, and rehabilitation specialists to advance the understanding and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. We look forward to your valuable contributions to this Special Issue.
Dr. Hyechang Rhim
