Physiotherapy Quarterly focuses on the evaluation and effectiveness of various physical therapy interventions for musculoskeletal disorders, pain management, and functional recovery across different populations. Studies investigate therapeutic approaches such as exercise programs, manual therapies, laser therapy, and biofeedback for conditions including neck pain, low back pain, rotator cuff tendinopathy, and post-stroke impairments. The journal also examines factors influencing rehabilitation outcomes, such as adherence to home exercises, and the reliability of assessment tools used by physiotherapy professionals.
