What is Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R)?

In a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) department, also known as physiatry, various procedures are performed to enhance recovery and improve the quality of life for patients with physical impairments or disabilities.

Here are some common procedures

Comprehensive Evaluations - Detailed assessments to evaluate a patient's physical, functional, and cognitive abilities, including history taking and physical examinations.
Functional Assessments - Measuring specific capabilities, such as mobility, strength, endurance, and activities of daily living (ADLs).

Therapeutic Exercise - Developing personalised exercise programs to improve strength, flexibility, and endurance, tailored to the patient’s condition.
Manual Therapy - Techniques such as massage, mobilisation, and manipulation to relieve pain and improve mobility.
Electrotherapy - Utilising electrical modalities (e.g., TENS, ultrasound) for pain relief, tissue healing, and muscle stimulation.

Injections - Administering corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid, or other medications into joints, muscles, or nerves to reduce pain and inflammation.
Nerve Blocks - Targeting specific nerves to alleviate chronic pain conditions.
Botulinum Toxin Injections - Using Botox to manage spasticity or muscle hyperactivity in conditions like cerebral palsy or after strokes.

Occupational Therapy - Working with patients to improve their ability to perform daily activities and enhance their independence.
Speech Therapy - Addressing communication and swallowing difficulties, particularly in patients recovering from neurological injuries or surgeries.
Gait Training - Assisting patients in improving walking patterns and stability, often using assistive devices.

Fitting for Orthotics and Prosthetics - Designing and fitting custom devices to support mobility and function.
