Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Head and neck injuries represent a major challenge for healthcare professionals due to their potential short- and long-term negative consequences for patients.
These injuries can affect almost every segment of the population, from growing infants and elderly people undergoing musculoskeletal aging processes or victims of falls to athletes suffering from trauma or functional overload.
Head and neck pathologies are widespread in various forms, ranging from generic neck pain to traumatic concussions, presenting symptoms like pain, myofascial, postural and neurological dysfunctions, malfunctions of visual and mandibular receptors, and hearing and vestibular problems. Therefore, managing the consequences of these diseases represents a major challenge for physiotherapy, physiatry, sports medicine, orthopedics, neurology, medical semeiotics, otorhinolaryngology, and ophthalmology.
The prevention, management, and rehabilitation of head and neck injuries include a multitude of interventions ranging from physical exercise to soft tissue and receptor rehabilitation supported by advanced technologies and physical therapies, without forgetting acute containment strategies and pharmacological and surgical treatments.
For this reason, we are pleased to invite all researchers and healthcare and medical professionals involved in the management of head and neck pathologies to participate in this Special Issue dedicated to this broad and complex topic, contributing to a perspective of shared multispecialist research.
