EDITOR’S NOTE
This journal, one of the oldest Physiotherapy journal in Nigeria, especially in the North, dated back to mid-70’s is known for its excellent and detailed destination for health information and education across all aspects of medicine and has even taken this to another level of credence. The journal was originally called ‘Ahmadu Bello University Physio’ (ABUH PHYSIO) in its first edition in 1977, having Prof Seyi-Ladele Amosun as the editor.
The commitment then was to ensure that Physiotherapy in Nigeria takes the front stage in delivering evidence based clinical practices to restore good health to our elderly, adults, children and the pregnant women. The change of name therefore, is meant to fulfill the current vision of the journal and expand its institutional base. While introducing this rebirth edition to the general academic community at no cost, this special edition looked at diverse innovations in today’s clinical and Physiotherapy practices and brings to you, the latest scholarly articles, abstracts, health news and interviews from eminent personalities in the health sector. This edition also includes the author’s guidelines for subsequent contributions and submission of manuscripts which hopefully would be an online publication.
Our appreciation goes to our advisers, reviewers and consultants and to all our sponsors and contributors to this special edition, we will keep knocking, please don’t be tired. God bless you and Happy New Year to you all.
