Special Issue Information
Physical exercise has long been recognized as a cornerstone of rehabilitation across diverse patient populations, ranging from patients with musculoskeletal and neurological disorders to those with chronic diseases and cancer recovery. Recent developments in neuroscience, wearable technologies, and integrative therapeutic strategies have expanded the potential of exercise-based interventions, providing new insights into mechanisms of recovery, pain modulation, and functional improvement. This Special Issue aims to present cutting-edge research and clinical evidence on how physical exercise contributes to patient rehabilitation and health outcomes. We invite original research articles, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses that explore novel methodologies, interdisciplinary approaches, and innovative clinical applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, exercise interventions for pain management, neurorehabilitation, cancer survivorship, geriatric rehabilitation, and technology-assisted exercise therapies. By bringing together multidisciplinary perspectives, this Special Issue seeks to provide an updated and forward-looking overview of how exercise science can shape the future of evidence-based rehabilitation.
