Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation: Trends and Applications: 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Physical medicine and rehabilitation comprise a broad medical field that includes the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases; improvements in the 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, 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 be applied to plan rehabilitation projects, measure patient improvement after the administration of rehabilitation programs, and define 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.
