Adaptive equipment training enables mobility, self-care, or daily living patients with limitations to effectively use devices like wheelchairs, walkers, grab bars, and utensils. Training promotes independence, safety, and participation in functional activity. Physiatrists and occupational therapy professionals evaluate patient needs and deliver individualized instruction. Proper use of adaptive equipment decreases caregiver burden, increases confidence, and improves quality of life.
Welcome to Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation 2026, where clinicians, therapists, researchers, and healthcare professionals come together to share innovations, foster collaboration, and advance rehabilitation practices, patient care, and evidence-based strategies for improved function and quality of life.
