Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the 2nd edition of the Special Issue,"Physical Therapy in Musculoskeletal Disorders: Prevention, Diagnosis, Clinical Management and Treatment", following the great editorial success of the first edition.
The progress of evidence in physiotherapy in recent decades is highlighting the importance of this health specialty in the treatment of our patients. One of the main areas of interest in physiotherapy research is the approach to musculoskeletal pathologies from a preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic point of view. In the same way, the development of studies with a high methodological quality is allowing this evidence to be reproduced in the clinical setting in a direct way, thus favoring a direct approach to patients. In this Special Issue, we invite authors to present papers on the progress in preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic measures in patients with musculoskeletal diseases from the field of physiotherapy.
Dr. Rubén Cuesta-Barriuso
Guest Editor
