Understanding Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine: Regaining Mobility and Independence
Treating motor deficits after illness or trauma, relieving chronic pain, and restoring independence: this is the mission of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (PRM).
"It is not an organ-specific specialty, but rather a holistic approach aimed at restoring functional abilities," explains Dr. Audrey Weaver, specialist in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine.
Multidisciplinary by nature, PRM brings together physicians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, neuropsychologists, and other experts to provide personalized care. New technologies—such as exoskeletons, virtual reality, or functional electrical stimulation—now offer unprecedented opportunities for recovery.
Thanks to ongoing advances in the field, PRM enables many patients to regain comfort and quality of life.
