Rising research on the effectiveness of digital health technologies for patient monitoring and rehabilitation, especially in light of recent global health challenges.
Declining or Waning
- Aging and Neuromuscular Decline:
Research on aging-related neuromuscular decline is less frequently addressed, possibly due to a shift towards more innovative rehabilitation strategies and younger populations. - Traditional Pharmacological Approaches:
Studies focusing solely on traditional pharmacological interventions without consideration of combined or innovative therapeutic approaches are becoming less common. - Case Studies in Rare Conditions:
While case reports are valuable, the frequency of publications on rare conditions has diminished, possibly as the journal emphasizes broader clinical implications and larger cohort studies. - Basic Science Studies Without Clinical Application:
Basic research that does not directly translate into clinical practice is seeing reduced attention, as the journal aims to prioritize studies that offer immediate clinical relevance.
