Rehabilitation and Physical medicine journals for trusted evidence and coordinated rehabilitation care

Rehabilitation and physical medicine teams support patients across complex recovery pathways — where coordinated, consistent, and evidence‑based decisions are critical to outcomes.

The Ovid® Rehabilitation and Physical Medicine Collection is designed around the realities of multidisciplinary care — bringing together authoritative journals across musculoskeletal care, neurorehabilitation, sports medicine, and long‑term recovery. It provides a consistent evidence foundation that supports coordinated decision‑making across clinicians, care settings, and extended recovery timelines.

Coverage spans the full spectrum of rehabilitation and physical medicine, including orthopaedics, spine care, neurorehabilitation, cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, prosthetics and orthotics, geriatric rehabilitation, and exercise science.

Evidence is aligned to real clinical workflows, not isolated departments or specialties.

A shared research infrastructure supports alignment across clinicians, care settings, and transitions of care.

Peer‑reviewed, traceable knowledge clinicians and institutions can rely on when decisions are reviewed.
