Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, titled “Recent Progress in Rehabilitation Medicine—3rd Edition”. For more details on the first and second volumes, in which we published more than 13 papers and 11 papers, respectively, please visit https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/Rehabilitation_Medicine and https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/5YCEMQT58P.
With the aging of society worldwide, there is an increasing number of people experiencing impairments and disabilities, such as physical impairment, cognitive impairment, frailty, and comorbidity. These are associated with an increased incidence of adverse healthcare outcomes, including hospitalization, poorer quality of life, and increased healthcare expenditure. The number of people who need rehabilitation has increased dramatically.
Recent work in rehabilitation has made great progress. There are numerous randomized controlled studies in every field of rehabilitation. The outcome of rehabilitation, such as cardiac rehabilitation, is classified as Class I and Evidence A. Rehabilitation services are delivered quicker (stroke, etc.), more widely (heart failure, renal failure, pulmonary hypertension, etc.), and longer (not only in the acute and recovery stages, but also in the maintenance stage and prior to surgery) in order to obtain better outcomes.
This second volume aims to focus on the recent advances in rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally aims to “add life to years” by helping patients with impairments achieve and utilize their full physical, mental, and social potential. However, a growing body evidence suggests that rehabilitation for patients with visceral impairment, such as renal, cardiac, and pulmonary impairment, can not only improve exercise performance and the health-related quality of life, but also increase survival. Therefore, rehabilitation for patients does not simply aim to “add life to years” but “add life to years and years to life”, which is a new rehabilitation concept.
We are soliciting such cutting-edge research reports and overviews in relation to clinical rehabilitation, to offer a promising model for new fields in rehabilitation.
