Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite important advances in medicine in recent decades, disabilities caused by the nervous system (NS) and/or the muscle–skeletal system, pathologies commonly associated with post-polytrauma conditions are often severe and/or life-long, mainly because, for lesions in the central nervous system (CNS), there is unfortunately still no cure, except at least partially—and most promisingly—for gene therapy for spinal muscular atrophy.
Submissions to this Special Issue must approach, report, or discuss state-of-the art, evidence-based interventions regarding the use of prevention, treatment, or rehabilitation (including related complex nursing/care), through healthy lifestyle, medicine, physical exercise, high-performance assistive technology/advanced orthoses/prostheses (mechatronics/robotics), or IT/machine learning/AI. Additionally, as a solid knowledge base for this Special Issue, articles tackling morph-pathological, path-physiological, and/or related taxonomy items are also welcome.
Submissions can be original research, systematic or narrative reviews, meta-analyses, or perspective-integrative or series-related cases.
