The primary object of the Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine is to publish original scientific studies; articles of a generally informative nature concerned with medical, psychological, social, economic and technological aspects of rehabilitation; articles presenting ideas and topics of debate; and reviews of lectures and literature. Great importance is attached to methodologic points, especially in the fields of work physiology, neurophysiology, physiotherapy, psychology, work tests and the development of technical aids. Rehabilitation work carried out within the field of industrial medicine receives attention. Sociological studies and investigations intended to improve the situation of the handicapped in the community are published. The journal was originally a forum for Scandinavian research in rehabilitation medicine. Papers from all countries are now considered and today about 50% of the articles originate from other countries than the Scandinavian. The journal was founded in 1969 and has appeared since then with 4 issues per year. Thirty-eight supplements have been published. Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine is owned by the Foundation Information on Rehabilitation . The Foundation is sponsored by the Swedish Association of Rehabilitation and Physical Medicine, a specialist section within the Swedish Society of Medicine.
