Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The number of people who are in need of rehabilitation worldwide is constantly increasing. At the same time, the implementation of rehabilitation services in health systems in many parts of the world is still scarce, and in many cases, rehabilitation needs are not covered by corresponding services. Additionally, in some countries with highly developed health systems, specific user groups are neglected in terms of access to specific rehabilitation services. Therefore, advances in medicine, including progress in rehabilitation needs and strategies, should be based on scientific research.
This Special Issue of IJERPH, entitled “Rehabilitation in Health Systems, Rehabilitation Needs, and Innovative Rehabilitation Programs’’, has been successful so far in that 9 papers have been published with highly relevant contributions to the topic. In order to continue publishing research on the latest advances in the field, this Special Issue was reopened with a deadline of 31 August 2023. Similar to the first Special Issue, scientific articles with new information on the integration of rehabilitation in health systems; rehabilitation needs; as well as the outcomes of rehabilitation programs are welcome. As rehabilitation is an emerging field, a number of methodological challenges must be faced; therefore, conceptual and methodological papers are also welcome. As there are still significant research gaps in rehabilitation care in low- and lower-middle-income countries, we particularly invite articles that cover concepts and innovation in such settings, e.g., on rehabilitation in primary care and community-based rehabilitation as well as papers on the situation of vulnerable groups and rare diseases.
