Evidence-based updates of best clinical practice across the spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions

Best Practice and Research Clinical Rheumatology keeps the clinician or trainee informed of the latest developments and current recommended practice in the rapidly advancing fields of musculoskeletal conditions and science.

The series provides a continuous update of current clinical practice. It is a topical serial publication that covers the spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions in a 4-year cycle. Each topic-based issue contains around 200 pages of practical, evidence-based review articles, which integrate the results from the latest original research with current clinical practice and thinking to provide a continuous update.

Each issue follows a problem-orientated approach that focuses on the key questions to be addressed, clearly defining what is known and not known. The review articles seek to address the clinical issues of diagnosis, treatment and patient management. Management is described in practical terms so that it can be applied to the individual patient. The serial is aimed at the physician in both practice and training.

The Best Practice and Research Clinical Rheumatology series provides up-to-date and expert information and opinion by drawing on Guest Editors and authors renowned for their expertise. This ongoing review of topics makes the serial ideally suited to supporting everyday clinical practice, for training needs as well as for maintaining knowledge and competency.

Clinical Biomechanics is an international multidisciplinary journal of musculoskeletal biomechanics.

The science of biomechanics helps explain the causes of musculoskeletal disorders and provides assistance to the clinician in the evaluation of treatment methods. Clinical Biomechanics aims to strengthen the link between clinic and laboratory by publishing biomechanics research which helps to explain the causes of musculoskeletal disorders and which provides knowledge contributing to improved clinical management.

A peer review system is employed and every attempt is made to process and publish papers promptly.

Clinical Biomechanics explores all facets of musculoskeletal biomechanics with an emphasis on clinical management. The role of basic, as well as medical, science is recognized in a clinical context. The readership of the journal closely reflects its contents, being a balance of scientists, engineers and clinicians.

The contents are in the form of research papers, brief reports, review papers and correspondence, whilst special interest issues and supplements are published from time to time.

Disciplines covered include orthopaedic and sports biomechanics, bioengineering, biophysics, ergonomics, kinetics, clinical science, physical therapeutics and rehabilitation.

The journal is affiliated to the European Society of Biomechanics, American Society of Biomechanics, the International Society of Biomechanics and the Taiwanese Society of Biomechanics.

The journal is featured in 'Biomechanics World Wide.'

Gait & Posture is a vehicle for the publication of up-to-date basic and clinical research on all aspects of locomotion and balance. The scope includes measurement techniques; studies of pathological versus normal gait; treatment; biomechanical and theoretical approaches to gait and posture; mathematical models; neurological involvement; evolutionary, psychological and cultural aspects of gait.

Injury is an established, internationally renowned academic journal focusing on the rapidly evolving fields of trauma and accident surgery. The primary aim of this journal is to foster the exchange of information among all members of the trauma team,from surgeon and paramedic, to anaesthetist and nurse.

International edition of the Revue du rhumatisme, Joint Bone Spine is indexed in the main international databases.

This journal is the primary source for outstanding original articles on the study of muscle contraction and human motion through combined mechanical and electrical detection techniques.

Science & Sports provides an international account of clinical and basic research in the field of sports and medicine. Original articles, short communications, letters to the editor and technical notes cover all fields of sports medicine: internal medicine, traumatology, psychology, physiology, biochemistry, biomechanics and technology.

The Knee is an international journal publishing studies on the clinical treatment and fundamental biomechanical characteristics of this joint. The aim of the journal is to provide a vehicle relevant to surgeons, biomedical engineers, imaging specialists, material scientists, rehabilitation personnel and all those with an interest in the knee.
