Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Musculoskeletal disorders are among the leading causes of disability worldwide, often result in functional limitations, reduced quality of life, and increased healthcare costs, and with aging populations and chronic pain conditions contributing to their rising prevalence. This Special Issue focuses on the rehabilitation of musculoskeletal problems encountered both by patients with musculoskeletal disorders and those with neurological disorders, with particular emphasis placed on evidence-based physiotherapy approaches.
The aim is to present the latest research on manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, neuromuscular re-education, and pain modulation techniques, and topics of interest include pre- and postoperative rehabilitation, non-surgical interventions, and patient-tailored treatment strategies. We welcome clinical studies, basic science research, and systematic reviews that investigate the role of physical therapy in restoring function, preventing complications, and promoting long-term musculoskeletal health.
Through this Special Issue, we seek to enhance interdisciplinary collaboration and contribute to the advancement of musculoskeletal rehabilitation science.
Dr. Youngsook Bae
