Our Mission

Aims of the Journal

The Physical Therapy Journal of Indonesia (PTJI) is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to disseminating high-quality research articles, reviews, and general field articles across all aspects of fundamental research and clinical investigations in physical therapy.

PTJI aims to promote a lively exchange of ideas between academics and practitioners, bridging the intellectual, methodological, and substantive diversity of the global physical therapy community. The journal serves as a forum for advancing evidence-based practice and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration across rehabilitation sciences.

As an official journal of the diaspora of Indonesian physiotherapists in Taiwan, PTJI maintains strong collaborative ties with the Indonesia Sport Physiotherapy Community and ROM Physiotherapy, while pursuing international indexing standards to reach a global readership.

 

Coverage
