Axia Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (AJPMR)

Open science is essential to solving the world’s urgent challenges

About

Supporting researchers to open up every output from their research, including publications and preprints, data, code, protocols, methods, and peer review.

By enabling researchers to share their research openly, together we can increase its use and re-use, speed up scientific advances, deliver efficiencies for research, foster collaboration between disciplines, enable easier translation into economic and societal impact, and improve trust in science. That’s why we support open science across all academic disciplines. By enabling open science practices, and collaborating with partners across the scholarly ecosystem, faster and more effective research systems can be created that operate sustainably and at scale and build an equitable research landscape.

Aims and Scope – Axia Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (AJPMR)

The Axia Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (AJPMR) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research in the field of physical medicine, rehabilitation, and disability management. Our mission is to provide a platform for physiatrists, rehabilitation specialists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and healthcare professionals to share advancements that enhance patient recovery, functional independence, and quality of life.

Scope:

  • Neurorehabilitation – Stroke recovery, spinal cord injury rehabilitation, traumatic brain injury rehabilitation, and neuroplasticity.
  • Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation – Chronic pain management, orthopedic rehabilitation, post-surgical recovery, and joint disorders.
  • Sports Medicine and Injury Rehabilitation – Athletic injury treatment, rehabilitation protocols, and injury prevention strategies.
  • Pediatric Rehabilitation – Developmental disorders, cerebral palsy, and motor function improvement in children.
  • Geriatric Rehabilitation – Mobility enhancement, fall prevention, and rehabilitation of age-related musculoskeletal conditions.
  • Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation – Exercise training, respiratory therapy, and rehabilitation after cardiac or pulmonary conditions.
  • Amputee and Prosthetic Rehabilitation – Prosthetic fitting, gait training, and improving function after limb loss.
  • Assistive Technologies and Robotics – Wearable devices, robotic rehabilitation, exoskeletons, and virtual reality in therapy.
  • Pain Management and Chronic Pain Rehabilitation – Multimodal pain relief strategies, alternative therapies, and functional recovery.
  • Occupational Therapy and Functional Recovery – Activities of daily living (ADLs), return-to-work strategies, and vocational rehabilitation.
  • Spasticity and Movement Disorders – Botulinum toxin therapy, electrical stimulation, and management of hypertonia.
  • Rehabilitation Engineering and Biomechanics – Innovations in assistive devices, gait analysis, and motion tracking technologies.
  • Psychosocial Aspects of Rehabilitation – Mental health considerations, coping strategies, and psychological support in rehabilitation.
  • Integrative and Complementary Medicine in Rehabilitation – Acupuncture, hydrotherapy, yoga, and holistic approaches to rehabilitation.
  • Disability and Community-Based Rehabilitation – Social reintegration, accessibility, and disability rights advocacy.

AJPMR serves physiatrists, rehabilitation specialists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, sports medicine physicians, biomedical engineers, and researchers focused on improving functional recovery and patient rehabilitation outcomes.

The journal follows a rigorous peer-review process, ensures international visibility through indexing in major scientific databases, and promotes rapid publication to disseminate high-impact research in physical medicine and rehabilitation.
