Following continuous follow-up, this center was approved in principle in 2011. On 19/7/2018, based on the vote issued in the 268th session of the Council for the Development of Medical Universities, a definite agreement was reached with the establishment of a neuromuscular rehabilitation research center at Semnan University of Medical Sciences and Health Services. The building of this center is located in Quds Street of Semnan, located in the Tabatabai and Aghvami donated building. The center with an area of approximately 500 square meters has various departments including electrodiagnostic laboratories, ultrasonography, motor analysis, isokinetics, balance assessment and sports physiology, library, conference hall, computer unit. It is hoped that with the help of God Almighty, the increasing efforts of the dear researchers of this center, the help of esteemed researchers in other research centers and universities across the country as well as international centers in other countries and with the care of esteemed officials, this center can take an effective step in advancing its lofty goals in order to serve the holy system of the Islamic Republic.

Strategic Plan of Neuromuscular Rehabilitation Research Center

Introduction

Human knowledge is evolving at an astonishing rate. Today, research, especially in the field of rehabilitation as an item of sustainable development, develops human society. Meanwhile, universities and research centers as places for knowledge production meet the growing need in the field of rehabilitation and changes in the social structure by formulating their strategic plans in accordance with the prevailing conditions and capabilities. So, they use resources to advance their goals.

Developing a documented strategic plan enables managers to plan for the aim of organizational growth and development, with a realistic view of opportunities, capabilities, threats and weaknesses, and to prevent the organization from overworking and misguided in advance.

The Strategic Plan Document of the Neuromuscular Rehabilitation Research Center has been compiled with the emphasis that "the implementation of the Strategic Plan should be operational at the level of the entire organization" and undoubtedly has technical and content shortcomings.

It is hoped that applying and implementing of this document pave the way for the promotion of the real status of applied research in order to achieve justice in public health.
