Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) is also called physiatry or rehabilitation medicine. Its primary focus is
on strengthening functional ability and improving the quality of life for individuals facing physical impairments or
disabilities affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves, bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, and tendons.
In line with the principle of comprehensive patient care, physiatrists within PM&R play crucial roles within the care
