Rehabilitation has existed as a type of treatment for dysfunctions and inabilities for a huge number of years. It is viewed as a key treatment in the recovery of patients experiencing incapacitating conditions because of mishaps or diseases.

What are the basic concepts of rehabilitation medicine? In many ways rehabilitation is different from most other medical specialties. It is primarily a process of education of the disabled person so that, ideally, they can cope with family, friends, work, and leisure with as little support as possible. Thus, rehabilitation is a process that centrally involves the disabled person in making plans and setting goals that are important and relevant to their own circumstances. 

Rehabilitation has existed as a type of treatment for dysfunctions and inabilities for a huge number of years. It is viewed as a key treatment in the recovery of patients experiencing incapacitating conditions because of mishaps or diseases.

Despite the way that, since antiquated occasions there have been references to the utilization of physical specialists with the end goal to anticipate and treat illnesses.

Physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R), also known as physiatry or rehabilitation medicine, aims to enhance and restore functional ability and quality of life to those with physical impairments or disabilities affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves, bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, and tendons. Unlike other medical specialties that focus on a medical “cure,” the goals of the physiatrist are to maximize patients’ independence in activities of daily living and improve quality of life.
