Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Physiotherapy serves as a vital pillar in clinical rehabilitation, significantly enhancing functional recovery and quality of life across diverse health conditions. Despite rapid advancements in rehabilitative science, a critical need persists for high-quality studies that bridge clinical practice and therapeutic outcomes. Standardizing intervention protocols and integrating innovative technologies remain core challenges in modern rehabilitation.
The goal of this Special Issue, titled “Application of Physiotherapy in Clinical Rehabilitation”, is to provide a comprehensive platform for the latest research across the entire spectrum of physical therapy. We invite original research and reviews that explore innovative approaches in musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiopulmonary, geriatric, and pediatric rehabilitation. The scope also extends to sports physical therapy, ICU-based early mobilization, and the integration of assistive technologies such as robotics and virtual reality.
I cordially invite researchers and clinicians worldwide to contribute their expertise and findings to this Special Issue. By sharing diverse clinical insights and rigorous scientific data, we can collectively advance the global standards of physiotherapy and improve patient-centered care.
Prof. Dr. Kyeongbong Lee
Guest Editor
