Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
Physical medicine and rehabilitation, also known as physiatry, is a branch of medicine that aims to enhance and restore functional ability and quality of life to people with physical impairments or disabilities.

A physician having completed training in this field may be referred to as a physiatrist.
