Occupational rehabilitation is aimed at the restoration of the physical, cognitive, and psychosocial abilities required for work after injury, surgery, or chronic illness. Interventions are work conditioning, task-specific training, ergonomics, and vocational counseling. Effective integration between physiatrists, occupational therapists, and employers provides safe and effective return-to-work practices. Evidence-based practice enhances functional capacity, minimizes recurrence of injury, and maximizes productivity and 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.
