History

Our Journal originated in 1991 when the Thai Rehabilitation Medicine Association launched the Journal of Thai Rehabilitation Medicine (J Thai Rehabil Med). Initially published in Thai, it has been recognized by the Thai Citation Index (TCI) and the ASEAN Citation Index (ACI) since 2016, serving as a foundational resource for Thai rehabilitation literature.

Through a transformative evolution, the journal's name was changed to the ASEAN Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine (ASEAN J Rehabil Med) in 2019. In 2020, we began publishing exclusively in English, featuring medical articles in three regular issues annually. Our publication has consistently achieved tier 1 status in the Thai Citation Index (TCI) for its quality.
