Developmental Neurorehabilitation
Scope & Guideline
Enhancing understanding of recovery in developmental disorders.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Neurodevelopmental Disorders:
The journal primarily addresses issues related to neurodevelopmental disorders such as cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorders, and developmental coordination disorders, emphasizing the need for improved assessment and intervention strategies. - Rehabilitation Techniques and Interventions:
A significant portion of the research focuses on innovative rehabilitation techniques, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, and telehealth interventions, aimed at enhancing functional outcomes for children with disabilities. - Cross-Cultural Studies and Adaptations:
The journal publishes studies that adapt tools and interventions across different cultural contexts, ensuring that methodologies are relevant and accessible to diverse populations. - Assessment Tools and Methodologies:
There is a consistent focus on developing and validating assessment tools that measure functional abilities, participation, and quality of life in children with disabilities, which are crucial for tailoring interventions. - Family and Caregiver Involvement:
Research often emphasizes the role of family dynamics and caregiver training in the rehabilitation process, highlighting the importance of involving families in therapeutic interventions.
Trending and Emerging
- Telehealth and Remote Interventions:
There is a growing trend towards researching telehealth and remote intervention strategies, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, as these methods offer flexibility and accessibility for families in need of rehabilitation services. - Participation and Quality of Life Assessments:
Recent publications increasingly focus on measuring participation in daily activities and quality of life for children with disabilities, highlighting the importance of these factors in evaluating the effectiveness of interventions. - Integrated Multidisciplinary Approaches:
Research emphasizing multidisciplinary approaches that combine various therapeutic disciplines (e.g., occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech therapy) is on the rise, reflecting a holistic view of rehabilitation. - Parent and Caregiver Training Programs:
There is an emerging focus on developing and evaluating training programs aimed at equipping parents and caregivers with skills to support their children’s rehabilitation, recognizing their critical role in the process. - Use of Technology in Rehabilitation:
Innovative uses of technology, including virtual reality and gamification in therapy, are trending, as researchers explore how these tools can enhance engagement and outcomes in rehabilitation settings.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Pharmacological Interventions:
There is a noticeable decrease in studies focusing solely on pharmacological treatments for neurodevelopmental disorders, as the journal increasingly favors non-invasive and rehabilitative approaches. - Generalized Motor Skills Assessments:
Research centered on generalized motor skills assessments without a specific focus on contextual factors or individualized approaches has diminished, as the field moves towards more tailored and specific evaluations. - Longitudinal Studies without Intervention Focus:
Longitudinal studies that merely track developmental progress without integrating intervention strategies are becoming less prevalent, as there is a growing emphasis on actionable research that directly informs clinical practice. - Focus on Adult Outcomes from Childhood Conditions:
There has been a decline in research specifically addressing adult outcomes of childhood neurodevelopmental conditions, as the journal's emphasis shifts towards immediate interventions and outcomes in pediatric populations. - Psychological Assessments without Rehabilitation Context:
Studies that assess psychological aspects in isolation from rehabilitation practices are less frequently published, indicating a shift towards integrated approaches that combine psychological and physical rehabilitation.
