Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation of Neurological Disorders

Dear Colleagues,

Physiotherapy and clinical rehabilitation offer different approaches for the assessment and management of neurological disorders. As of now, there has been considerable research regarding physical therapy and clinical rehabilitation areas; however, standardized protocols for the clinical assessment and key therapies of neurological pathologies requiring physical therapy interventions are still needed.

An early diagnosis, with subsequent access to evidence-based rehabilitative and/or psychological treatments, can promote recovery—albeit not all patients respond to the currently available treatments. We are currently experiencing great advances in neurorehabilitation medicine for people who have suffered a neurological injury or disease and people with disabilities.

Therefore, it is critically important that physiotherapists constantly develop their knowledge and techniques. This Special Issue aims to serve for the discussion of all aspects of motion analysis, physiotherapy, and rehabilitation studies, including evaluation, treatment, and prevention.

For this SI, I would like to invite researchers to contribute their expertise, insights, and findings in the form of novel and original research articles and reviews based on studies of pain and functionality in neurological disorders. We invite manuscript submissions for inclusion in a Special Issue of Healthcare, entitled " Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation of Neurological Disorders”. Studies using quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods, or systematic reviews with or without metanalysis are considered.
