Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease and Parkinsonism, can lead to significant limitations in daily living, affecting cognitive and motor functions.
Clinical management of these diseases has evolved substantially in recent years, including clinical assessments, functional imaging, neurophysiological studies, non-operative and operative techniques, and neurorehabilitation strategies. Neurorehabilitation and treatment interventions are provided to reduce the burden associated with these disorders, promoting quality of life and psychological well-being, reducing limitations in daily living activities and facilitating social interaction.
For this Special Issue, we welcome research on a wide range of topics, including basic research that contributes to the elucidation of neurodegenerative disorders, measurement technology to evaluate these disorders, new interventional approaches including assistive technology with virtual and augmented reality techniques, and clinical and pharmacological research. We also welcome narrative analyses of single cases, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses regarding neurorehabilitation approaches in this field of neurodegenerative diseases.
