Aims and Scope
Mission
The mission of the Journal of Physical Therapy & Health Sciences is to cultivate a dynamic repository of high-caliber research that empowers physical therapists and health scientists to deliver evidence-based, ethical, and patient-centered care. By promoting interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation, JPTHS aims to elevate the quality of life for individuals and communities worldwide, while inspiring leadership in academic inquiry, clinical practice, and public health advocacy. Grounded in the department's ethos of disciplined excellence and skilled practical training, the journal seeks to produce transformative knowledge that supports higher studies, professional development, and sustainable healthcare solutions.
Scope
JPTHS encompasses a broad yet focused spectrum of topics within physical therapy, rehabilitation, and health sciences, emphasizing preventive, diagnostic, rehabilitative, and curative approaches. Key areas include:
- Musculoskeletal and Orthopedic Rehabilitation: Innovations in manual therapy, exercise prescriptions, pain management, and post-surgical recovery.
- Neurological and Neuromuscular Disorders: Evidence-based interventions for stroke, spinal cord injuries, Parkinson's disease, and pediatric neurology.
- Cardio-Respiratory and Vascular Health: Therapeutic modalities for chronic respiratory conditions, cardiovascular rehabilitation, and sports-related performance enhancement.
- Pediatric and Geriatric Physical Therapy: Age-specific strategies for developmental delays, fall prevention, and chronic disease management in vulnerable populations.
- Integrative and Holistic Approaches: Psychosomatic interventions, wellness promotion, cultural influences on health, and the role of physical therapy in public health policy.
- Emerging Technologies and Education: Applications of tele-rehabilitation, AI-driven diagnostics, biomechanics, and curriculum development for training future therapists.
The journal welcomes submissions that correlate clinical theory with real-world practice, address social-economic disparities in healthcare access, and explore global health challenges. We prioritize research with practical implications, methodological rigor, and a commitment to ethical standards, ensuring contributions drive meaningful change in rehabilitation sciences.
