Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on cutting-edge advances in gait rehabilitation, with the aim of highlighting innovative treatment strategies, emerging technologies, and evidence-based clinical practice. Gait disorders have a significant impact on mobility and quality of life in diverse patient populations, including those with neurological, musculoskeletal, and age-related conditions. Recent innovations such as early mobilization in the ICU, robot-assisted training, virtual reality environments, wearable sensors, and AI-driven feedback systems are revolutionizing gait disorder assessments and intervention approaches. Furthermore, personalized, data-driven treatment plans are improving treatment outcomes and promoting long-term recovery. This Special Issue invites the submission of papers that explore multidisciplinary perspectives, clinical trials, and the implementation of novel protocols. By blending technological innovations and clinical insights, this Special Issue aims to advance both research and practice in gait rehabilitation.
Topics this Special Issue will cover include the following:
The epidemiology of NAFLD;
The role of genetics in the development of NAFLD;
Biochemical changes associated with NAFLD;
Diagnostic approaches, including omics biomarkers;
Interventions for NAFLD.
