Integrative Clinical and Translational Advances in Rehabilitation Medicine: From Mechanisms to Population Health

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Rehabilitation medicine has evolved into a comprehensive multidisciplinary field that integrates clinical practice, epidemiology, public health, biomechanics, and basic experimental science. Through this Topic, we aim to encompass a wide range of studies examining musculoskeletal, neurological, metabolic, and aging-related health, spanning therapeutic exercise, motor control, neuromuscular function, and advanced rehabilitation technologies.

We welcome the submission of both clinical and population-based research that investigates health conditions, functional outcomes, behavioral factors, and disease mechanisms relevant to rehabilitation. In parallel, preclinical and experimental studies—including using animal models to explore neuromuscular adaptation, inflammation, metabolic regulation, and mechanisms of recovery—are considered essential contributions that bridge laboratory findings with clinical applications.

By bringing together evidence from clinical trials, observational studies, epidemiological investigations, biomechanical analyses, and laboratory-based experiments, in this Topic we seek to promote an integrated understanding of rehabilitation and its broader health implications. High-quality original research, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses are all encouraged.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

  1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
  2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
  3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
  4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
  5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
