Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In 2019, close to 2.5 billion individuals benefited from rehabilitation of some form, an increase of 63% when compared to the values from 1990. According to the World Health Organization, the need for rehabilitation is largely unmet and is expected to worsen significantly in the coming years. This is potentiated by the significant increase in the number of persons aging over 65. Healthy life expectancy is predicted to increase by 30% by 2025. Rehabilitation has a paramount role in maintaining health quality, as it may help in reducing the impact of, for example, diseases or injuries while promoting the functional independence of elderly persons.
The current Special Issue, under the common theme of “Advances in Patient Rehabilitation and Technology”, promoted by the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, will focus on topics including, but not limited to, health and well-being; prevention of dysfunction; novel technology in different rehabilitation programs; signal processing and data analysis; monitoring, data visualization and progress reporting. In addition, we would strongly encourage topics that target health value and innovation issues. Different types of manuscripts will be considered, such as original or review articles; position papers; brief reports; case reports; and letters to the editor.
Dr. Cláudia Regina Pereira Quaresma
