2. Summary Graphics: Infographics can serve as visual summaries of research articles, providing an overview of key points, methodologies, and outcomes in a concise and engaging format.

 

3. Educational Visuals: Infographics can be used to explain complex concepts, treatment approaches, or educational content related to physiotherapy in mental health. They can be particularly useful for educational articles.

 

4. Promotional Material: Infographics can be used to promote the journal, specific articles, or key insights from published research, making them shareable on social media and other platforms.

 

5. Patient Information: Infographics can be designed to provide mental health patients and the public with clear and understandable information about physiotherapy interventions, benefits, and resources.
