Annals of Rehabilitation and Regenerative Medicine

About Journal

The Annals of Rehabilitation and Regenerative Medicine is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal dedicated to publishing high-quality, original research and comprehensive reviews in the fields of physical medicine, rehabilitation sciences, and regenerative therapies. As global healthcare systems strive to address the rising burden of chronic conditions, injury recovery, musculoskeletal disorders, neurorehabilitation, and aging populations, this journal offers a focused platform for researchers, clinicians, and allied health professionals to exchange scientific knowledge and practical advances.

We aim to foster a multidisciplinary dialogue among physiatrists, biomedical scientists, physical therapists, orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, stem cell researchers, and clinical rehabilitation teams. By bridging foundational science and evidence-based clinical practices, the journal promotes effective strategies that restore function, enhance quality of life, and advance therapeutic innovations in tissue repair, neuroplasticity, and mobility restoration.

The Annals of Rehabilitation and Regenerative Medicine covers a wide array of subtopics across the continuum of rehabilitation and regenerative health sciences. Our scope includes, but is not limited to:

• Physical medicine and rehabilitation
• Regenerative medicine and stem cell therapies
• Musculoskeletal disorders and joint rehabilitation
• Neurological recovery and neurorehabilitation
• Cardiopulmonary rehabilitation
• Sports medicine and functional performance
• Biomechanics and movement analysis
• Pain management and functional therapy
• Rehabilitation engineering and assistive technologies
• Tissue engineering and cellular therapies
• Age-related mobility impairments
• Prosthetics and orthotics
• Spinal cord injury rehabilitation
• Cognitive rehabilitation and behavioral therapy
• Translational research in regenerative physiology

Through this extensive scope, the journal serves as a vital resource for clinicians, academic researchers, policy makers, and healthcare developers who aim to improve patient outcomes through science-driven interventions.

Purpose and Mission

The primary mission of the Annals of Rehabilitation and Regenerative Medicine is to disseminate rigorous, clinically relevant research that informs evidence-based rehabilitation practices and advances the clinical application of regenerative technologies. Our goal is to:

• Promote understanding of mechanisms that underlie functional recovery and tissue regeneration
• Encourage the integration of novel technologies into therapeutic protocols
• Facilitate research that bridges cellular science with rehabilitative outcomes
• Expand global access to current knowledge in restorative care

We believe that publishing accessible, high-impact research can catalyze collaboration across specialties and regions, ultimately improving standards of care for individuals facing disability, chronic pain, trauma, and degenerative disease.

Manuscript Types Accepted

We welcome a wide variety of manuscript types that contribute to the advancement of rehabilitation and regenerative science, including:

• Original research articles presenting novel data or therapeutic evaluations
• Systematic and narrative reviews offering comprehensive overviews of focused topics
• Case reports and case series illustrating rare or instructive clinical experiences
• Methodological papers introducing innovative tools or techniques
• Commentaries discussing policy, ethical, or interdisciplinary perspectives
• Technical reports, clinical trials, and translational studies

Each submission undergoes rigorous peer review by field experts to ensure scientific quality, methodological integrity, and practical significance.

International and Interdisciplinary Contributions

The Annals of Rehabilitation and Regenerative Medicine encourages contributions from a global pool of authors and institutions. We are especially committed to fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and highlighting studies that integrate traditional rehabilitation principles with biomedical innovations, including:

• Cell-based therapies for tissue restoration
• Bioengineering solutions for neuromuscular deficits
• Robotic-assisted rehabilitation techniques
• Novel pharmacological approaches combined with physiotherapy
• Artificial intelligence in functional outcome prediction

Such interdisciplinary efforts support the evolution of rehabilitation science from traditional recovery paradigms to biologically driven, patient-specific solutions.

All articles published in the Annals of Rehabilitation and Regenerative Medicine are open access, ensuring that valuable clinical and scientific findings are freely available to practitioners, educators, and policy leaders across the globe. We maintain high ethical standards, uphold transparency in reporting, and support the principles of reproducible science.
