Musculoskeletal Disorders: Clinical Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy

Dear Colleagues,

Physiotherapy and clinical rehabilitation offer different approaches for the assessment and management of musculoskeletal disorders. As of now, there has been considerable research on physical therapy and clinical rehabilitation areas; however, standardized protocols for the clinical assessment and key therapies of musculoskeletal pathologies requiring physical therapy interventions are still needed.

Furthermore, novel evidence-based therapies, such as manual therapy, therapeutic exercise and movement rehabilitation programs, electrotherapy, respiratory interventions, and thermotherapy may have benefits in acute and chronic syndromes, as well as in new clinical assessment interventions. I would like to invite researchers and clinicians to contribute their expertise, insights, and findings in the form of novel and original research articles and reviews for this Special Issue, entitled “Musculoskeletal disorders: clinical rehabilitation and physiotherapy”.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to highlight the benefits of physical therapy and clinical rehabilitation for the assessment and management of musculoskeletal disorders, related to the health of the general population.
