Functional independence training aims to improve the capacity of patients to accomplish daily tasks in a safe and efficient way. Interventions involve task-specific training, adaptive strategies, and caregiver instruction. Physiatrist- and therapist-guided programs support independence, lessen dependence, and enhance quality of life among patients with neurological, musculoskeletal, or chronic disorders.
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.
