The journal considers research addressing the continuum from clinical
assessment and diagnosis through treatment, rehabilitation, recovery,
disability management, and long-term care. Its scope includes clinical
medicine, therapeutic interventions, rehabilitation strategies,
functional assessment, recovery processes, assistive technologies,
healthcare delivery, and related interdisciplinary areas.
The journal welcomes original research articles, clinical studies,
systematic reviews, review articles, case reports and studies,
methodological contributions, and other scholarly submissions
appropriate to its scope. Research connecting hospital-based medicine
with rehabilitation, post-treatment care, disability management, and
functional restoration is also within the journal's scope.
Manuscripts are considered in accordance with the journal's scope,
editorial policies, ethical requirements, author guidelines, and
peer-review procedures. The journal is committed to responsible
scholarly communication, research integrity, transparent editorial
practices, accurate publication metadata, and responsible dissemination
of research in medicine and rehabilitation sciences.
Advances in Medicine and Rehabilitation Sciences is an interdisciplinary journal dedicated to research at the interface of clinical medicine, rehabilitation sciences, functional recovery, translational research, and evidence-based healthcare.
The journal publishes original research articles, review articles, clinical studies, case reports, methodological studies, technical communications, and interdisciplinary research that contribute to the prevention or management of disability, improvement of functional outcomes, rehabilitation, recovery, and long-term patient care.
Clinical and biomedical studies are considered when they demonstrate a clear relevance to rehabilitation, functional recovery, disability management, patient outcomes, or translational rehabilitation practice.

PSYCHOSOCIAL AND COGNITIVE REHABILITATION
Research addressing psychological adjustment, cognitive rehabilitation, behavioral interventions, psychosocial recovery, quality of life, and mental-health factors associated with disability, chronic disease, or rehabilitation is also within the journal's scope.
COMMUNITY AND LONG-TERM REHABILITATION
The journal welcomes research on community-based rehabilitation, disability prevention, rehabilitation service delivery, health-system approaches to rehabilitation, continuity of care, long-term functional outcomes, and population-level interventions directly related to rehabilitation and disability.
INTERDISCIPLINARY REHABILITATION SCIENCES
Interdisciplinary research involving medicine, rehabilitation sciences, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, nursing, biomedical engineering, psychology, public health, and healthcare technology is welcomed when rehabilitation, functional recovery, disability, or patient-centered outcomes represent a substantive component of the study.
Advances in Medicine and Rehabilitation Sciences aims to advance evidence that improves functional recovery, rehabilitation practice, disability management, quality of life, and continuity of care across different patient populations and healthcare settings.
