Physiatry — Rehabilitation in Special Populations

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation · Clinical Specialties

How it begins

Medical reference manual that addresses the functional restoration of vulnerable patients. It includes everything from childhood neurorehabilitation and the fragile geriatric patient, to therapeutic strategies for cancer survivors, highly complex amputees, critical burns and severe spinal cord injuries.
