Innovative Approaches in Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation

Dear Colleagues,

The aim of physiotherapy and rehabilitation is to treat, prevent, promote health and improve physical performance. Physical therapy and rehabilitation have undergone significant changes in recent years, adapting to new challenges and the demands of today’s society. As the world’s population ages, there are more and more people with chronic diseases or disabilities. Professionals must be able to address these specific conditions and develop physiotherapy and rehabilitation programs tailored to each patient. Traditional methods have proven effective over the years, but with rapid advances in technology and research, there is a growing need to explore and implement innovative approaches in this field.

Innovation in physiotherapy and rehabilitation can take many forms, from new therapeutic techniques and exercises to advanced equipment and technologies such as virtual reality, robotics and tele-rehabilitation. These innovative approaches have revolutionized the field of physiotherapy and rehabilitation, offering new ways of treating and caring for patients. The aim of this Special Issue is to summarize new trends on assessment, prevention and therapeutic approaches in physical therapy and rehabilitation. Original articles, case reports, systematic reviews and meta-analyses are all welcome. With this Special Issue, we hope to promote a culture of innovation and continuous improvement in physiotherapy and rehabilitation, ultimately contributing to better patient care and health outcomes.
