Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sport injury rehabilitation involves physical and psychological considerations. There has been a proliferation of scientific publications demonstrating the importance of diagnosing and treating sport injuries for athletes to return to sport after a musculoskeletal injury safely and quickly. The epidemiology of the injury itself, identification, treatment, the process of returning to the previous level of competition and prevention are fundamental aspects in this field of knowledge. The purpose of this Special Issue is to investigate the latest research for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of sport injuries, and to summarize the principles of rehabilitation techniques regarding acute and chronic sport injuries. The papers may be from different fields relating to sport injuries, such as orthopedic medicine, physiotherapy, physical and sports science, sport psychology, motor leaning and motor control and sport nutrition, on topics including, but not limited to, the prevention of a sport injury, new methods of diagnosis, new technology and surgical techniques, rehabilitation and complementary (mind–body) techniques, etc. We are interested in high-quality original research and review papers in different sports. Therefore, this Special Issue welcomes studies or reviews considering new advances in the diagnosis, prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of acute and/or chronic sport injuries.
