Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to participate in a Special Issue on “Understanding the mechanisms of rehabilitation approaches for Neurological conditions.” This Special Issue is open for manuscripts that deal with the multidisciplinary approaches used to understand the recovery of function for neurological conditions to improve or have the potential to improve the quality of life. Active researchers in the fields of physical and neural rehabilitation, principally focused non-pharmacological/conservative modes of treatment to optimize the patient's rehabilitation journey and improve the quality of life, are highly encouraged to submit their work to this special issue. This Special Issue will concentrate on two key aspects of this field:
1. Innovative use of the different biomedical signals such as an electroencephalogram (EEG), electromyogram (EMG), and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to measure and understand the basic mechanism of rehabilitation approaches/techniques that utilize novel signal processing methods in the short term or cross-sectional study designs.
2. Wearable sensors to measure longitudinal data based on the technological advancements of energy-efficient and interconnected wireless systems offering unique solutions for non-invasive, ubiquitous, and continuous healthcare monitoring in the field of neurological rehabilitation.

Original papers that describe new research on any of the themes mentioned above are welcomed. We look forward to your participation in this Special Issue.
