Frontiers in Rehabilitation Sciences is a multidisciplinary journal publishing research that investigates rehabilitation from biological, clinical, and socio-humanistic perspectives. Rehabilitation is the health strategy of the 21st century, optimizing people's functioning in a future where people live longer, but with more disabilities.

Led by Field Chief Editor Gerold Stucki (University of Lucerne and Swiss Paraplegic Research, Switzerland), Frontiers in Rehabilitation Sciences combines theoretical approaches and clinical practice with policy implementation to close the gap between research and practice. Its mission is to contribute to the better health, functioning, and wellbeing of people that experience disability.

This journal covers the following subject areas:

disability, rehabilitation, and inclusion
human functioning
interventions for rehabilitation
medical and surgical rehabilitation
pulmonary rehabilitation
rehabilitation engineering
rehabilitation for musculoskeletal conditions
rehabilitation in children and youth
rehabilitation in neurological conditions
strengthening rehabilitation in health systems
translational research in rehabilitation
work rehabilitation.

Submissions that adopt diverse methodologies, including qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods, and policy briefs, are invited. The journal also welcomes submissions which support the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG 3: good health and well-being.

Manuscripts that focus solely on early childhood development, pediatric care, or geriatric care without a clear connection to rehabilitation sciences are not suitable for publication in this journal. Additionally, studies that primarily focus on psychological, sociological, or educational aspects without a clear link to physical rehabilitation are also considered out of scope.

Frontiers in Rehabilitation Sciences is committed to advancing developments in the field of rehabilitation sciences by communicating scientific knowledge to researchers and the public alike, to enable the scientific breakthroughs of the future.
