Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will provide an up-to-date, comprehensive overview of current approaches, challenges, and innovations in the care of individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI), bringing together contributions from leading clinicians, researchers, and rehabilitation experts to highlight recent advances in diagnosis, neurorehabilitation, assistive technologies, and long-term patient management. A particular emphasis will be placed on multidisciplinary strategies integrating medical, surgical, and rehabilitative perspectives, as well as novel interventions in neuroplasticity, neuromodulation, and robotic-assisted rehabilitation. We also welcome studies addressing psychosocial outcomes, patient-centered care models, and aspects of health policy influencing SCI management and quality of life. By showcasing high-quality original research articles and systematic reviews, this Special Issue will promote cross-disciplinary dialogue and foster evidence-based innovations in this field.
Dr. Valerio Pisani
