Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neurologic disorders lead to disability through motor, cognitive, and sensory impairments, impacting patients' independence and economic self-sufficiency. The consequences are high social costs and an underestimated psychological impact with low quality of life.
Rehabilitation medicine aims to enable people with impairments and activity limitations to reach and maintain optimal functioning in physical, intellectual, psychological, and/or social domains. There are a wide and heterogeneous range of therapeutic interventions and methodologies in addition to standard medical care. The patient's assessment and the goal-setting process are essential for an individualized neurorehabilitation plan to reduce disability, develop new skills, and adjust behaviors and environments to enhance participation. Increasing evidence suggests that intensive and repeated practice is essential to modify neural organization and facilitate the reacquisition or relearning of motor skills.
In this Special Issue, we welcome authors to submit papers on advanced therapy strategies and concepts for rehabilitation after a neurological disease. These methods aim to boost neuroplasticity and include botulinum toxin, conventional therapy, and advanced technologies, such as robotics, virtual and augmented reality, and artificial intelligence techniques. We need to evaluate these interventions' effectiveness and determine the best timing, intensity, and duration for each rehabilitation method.
