Introduction
Over the past few decades, significant progress has been made in both our scientific comprehension and therapeutic approaches concerning neuromuscular disorders (NMDs) and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). These advancements have considerably expanded our treatment options for conditions impacting the neuromuscular and musculoskeletal systems, reflecting an enduring commitment to enhancing outcomes and the quality of life for individuals suffering from these disorders.
The thematic section titled "Advances in Musculoskeletal and Neuromuscular Rehabilitation" offers a platform for disseminating the latest research and innovations in the dynamic fields of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular rehabilitation. These fields encompass a wide range of conditions, spanning from orthopedic injuries to peripheral nerve disorders, which have a profound impact on individuals' physical well-being and overall quality of life. To address the evolving challenges and opportunities within these domains, this special issue welcomes original research, reviews, and case studies covering a broad spectrum of rehabilitation-related subjects. These may include rehabilitation interventions, cutting-edge technologies, evidence-based practices, patient-centered care approaches, interdisciplinary collaborations, and global perspectives on musculoskeletal and neuromuscular rehabilitation. Advancements in rehabilitation often revolve around optimizing muscle function through tailored exercise programs, innovative therapies, and technology-assisted interventions. Therefore, this special issue places a strong emphasis on the role of muscle recovery within the broader context of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular rehabilitation. Recognizing the global demand for rehabilitation services, this special issue also underscores innovative strategies aimed at enhancing the accessibility and effectiveness of rehabilitation on a global scale.
By exploring recent advances, sharing best practices, discussing emerging trends, and addressing global rehabilitation needs, this thematic section tries to stimulate progress in the fields of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular rehabilitation, ultimately contributing to the improvement of the lives of individuals affected by these conditions.
