Open Access Journal of Physiotherapy

Open Access Journal of Physiotherapy (OAJOP) is an international, peer-reviewed, and open access journal that seeks to contribute to advancements in the field of physiotherapy and rehabilitation. This journal seeks to publish quality research that supports evidence-based clinical practice, promotes functional restoration and recovery, and improves health outcomes in people of all age groups. It is a global platform where physiotherapists, rehabilitation specialists, clinicians, researchers, educators, and allied healthcare professionals can share scientific knowledge for improved patient-centered care and lifelong physical well-being.

This journal accepts submissions of original research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials, clinical studies, case reports, clinical protocols, technical notes, short communications, and evidence-based practice guidelines that contribute to physiotherapy as a whole. Topics of interest to OAJOP include musculoskeletal physiotherapy, neurological physiotherapy, cardiopulmonary physiotherapy, sports physiotherapy, orthopedic physiotherapy, pediatric physiotherapy, geriatric physiotherapy, women's health and pelvic health physiotherapy, oncological physiotherapy, intensive care physiotherapy, community-based rehabilitation, occupational health, and pain sciences.

Considering the dynamic nature of rehabilitation sciences, the journal embraces investigations related to digital rehabilitation, artificial intelligence, use of wearables, tele-rehabilitation, virtual and augmented reality, robotics, motion analysis, biomechanics modeling, precision rehabilitation, regenerative rehabilitation, computational movement analysis, digital therapeutics, and personalized exercise prescription. Research efforts merging physiotherapy with biomedical engineering, sports science, neuroscience, public health, and health informatics are especially welcomed as these rapidly evolving domains transform the practice of rehabilitation. Advances in technology-enabled rehabilitation become an integral part of physiotherapy research.

Providing open and free access to high-quality research findings, Open Access Journal of Physiotherapy aims at promoting fast knowledge transfer from the research to the clinical setting and developing international collaboration among professionals. Open Access Journal of Physiotherapy is dedicated to maintaining the highest levels of scientific integrity and publishing influential research that advances safe rehabilitation approaches, functional independence, quality of life, and development of physiotherapy discipline.
