Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) is a branch of medicine focused on enhancing and restoring the physical functions of individuals experiencing impairments or disabilities. This field specifically addresses the rehabilitation of patients with injuries or conditions affecting the nervous system, muscles, bones, or ligaments. The primary goal of PM&R is to maximize a patient’s functional independence and quality of life, helping them perform daily activities to the fullest extent possible, despite the limitations imposed by injury, disease, or chronic conditions for which no cure exists. The discipline includes several subspecialties, such as neuromuscular medicine, pain medicine, pediatric rehabilitation medicine, and sports medicine. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts in the field of PM&R. It studies, analyzes and upholds the pillars of the discipline and its utmost significance in modern times. As this field is emerging at a rapid pace, the contents of this book will help the readers understand the modern concepts and applications of the subject.
