Abstract

The results of a scientific production analysis developed in Spain in the fields of Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy are presented, providing an overview of Spanish research in the fields. In order to this, a retrospective descriptive study was performed with documents covered by the Web of Science until 2011, defining among other bibliometric indicators: document typology, production by geographic areas, institutional sectors, centers and thematic categories. The results were obtained after the analysis of 1302 documents, 75,19% of which are scientific articles. The most productive institutional sectors are hospitals (54,8%) and universities (43,9%). The most productive autonomous communities are Madrid (28,2%) and Cataluña (25,5%) as well as its various hospital and academic reference centers therein. The predominant categories end up being Clinical Neurology and Rehabilitation.
