Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Physical medicine and rehabilitation are broad medical fields that include the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases; the improvement in human quality of life; and overcoming or reducing handicaps. The clinical effects of rehabilitation are well known, and positive outcomes have been widely reported in the literature. However, the basic research and variations related to rehabilitation programs deserve specific in-depth analyses. Clinical and basic research can elucidate the possible mechanisms of physical medicine and rehabilitation interventions, and can be applied in planning rehabilitation projects, measuring patient improvement after the administration of rehabilitation programs, and defining forecasting and organizational models. In this Special Issue, we welcome the submission of original articles and reviews focusing on the latest developments following theoretical, experimental, and clinical investigations into physical medicine and rehabilitation for physiatrists and rehabilitation researchers.
