Physiotherapy in Clinical Practice: From Assessment to Rehabilitation

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue, “Physiotherapy in Clinical Practice: From Assessment to Rehabilitation”, aims to present an updated and comprehensive perspective on the evolving role of physiotherapy within multidisciplinary practice. Its purpose is to gather high-quality scientific contributions that demonstrate how rigorous assessment methods, clinical reasoning, and personalized rehabilitation programs can improve patient outcomes and functional recovery.

This issue encourages the submission of studies that explore novel diagnostic approaches, innovative rehabilitation technologies, and integrative models of care applied to musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiovascular, and respiratory conditions. It also welcomes research addressing preventive physiotherapy, chronic disease management, and the promotion of physical activity across the lifespan.

In addition, the issue seeks to foster discussion on emerging trends such as artificial intelligence and new approaches to physiotherapy. By linking assessment, intervention, and evaluation, this collection aims to strengthen the scientific foundation of physiotherapy practice, promote interdisciplinary collaboration, and inspire new strategies that enhance both clinical effectiveness and patient experience.
