Aims & Scope
The Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy® (JOSPT®) publishes scientifically rigorous content and promotes its application to movement-related health.
JOSPT® aims to be the leading international source of knowledge for movement-related health.
To this end, JOSPT features the latest evidence-based research and clinical cases in musculoskeletal health, injury, and rehabilitation, including physical therapy, orthopaedics, sports medicine, and biomechanics.
The Journal accepts manuscripts for review from any discipline that addresses orthopaedic or sports physical therapy from any relevant perspective, including clinical practice and outcomes, kinesiology, motor behavior, fitness, gerontology, neuroscience, or epidemiology.
While clinical implications should be discussed in all manuscripts submitted for review, JOSPT recognizes the importance of all research types in advancing all aspects of musculoskeletal and sports-related practice.
Accordingly, the Journal seeks to publish research spanning the entire spectrum of clinical, basic, and translational science.
