3rd World Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Conference

Cancer treatment may disturb physical, social, psychological, and work-related abilities. Rehabilitation helps persons to recover these abilities and maintain independence. Many people than ever are suffering with cancer, but the disease and its life-saving treatments often leave survivors with physical, cognitive, and emotional sequelae that need rehabilitation services. Cancer rehabilitation is developing to meet the complex needs of an increasing number of survivors: rehabilitation professionals are working to design interventions that restore the integrity of organ structure and function, remediate functional loss, and allow full involvement in personal roles and activities. Cancer Rehabilitation help in reaching the following goals: ·          Recover physical strength. ·           Increase the ability to care for yourself which reduces the amount of support needed from caregivers. ·   ...

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a vast global problem accounting for the leading reason of death worldwide. Acute myocardial Infraction (AMI) is the most public cause of death from CHD. Identifying this problem and the need to rehabilitate patients’ physiatrists recommend the provision of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) services. CR is a multi-component involvement generally including of structured exercise training, psychological support and education to promote positive lifestyle changes. Enhancements in risk factors, mortality, morbidity and Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) have all been linked with CR attendance. Benefits of Cardiac Rehabilitation : Heart Health Ø   Improves : ·          Cholesterol and blood pressure measures ·          Ability to participate in exercise ·          Likelihood of quitting smoking   ...

2 nd World Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Conference is a two-day conference which is going to be held on June 13-14, Helsinki, Finland which comprises prompt keynote presentations, Oral talks, Poster presentations and Exhibitions.

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is the most common of several kinds of dysautonomia, characterized by dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system showing with signs of orthostatic intolerance with or without related orthostatic hypotension and extreme autonomic excitation. Along with musculoskeletal signs of POTS and its known associations with other clinical entities like Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, POTS constitute an unusual treatment challenge of which the orthopaedic surgeon, Physiatrist and other associated healthcare providers should be aware. Symptoms: Cardiac symptoms: ·          rapid palpitations ·          lightheadedness ·          chest discomfort ·          dyspnea Non-cardiac symptoms: ·          brain fog ·     ...

To identify the 'physiatry' in a single word is tough. This may be due that physiatry originated from two different fields, physical medicine and rehabilitation and emphases on assisting the general improvement of functional recovery in disabled patients. In addition, physiatry has new fields to develop; health and welfare. Therefore, the individuality of physiatry will change depending on how physiatrists act in these fields. To endorse the progress of physiatry, physiatrists should apply their efforts in several directions. First, physiatrists must make efforts to treat the impairment itself in addition to use classical compensatory methods. Earlier, it was thought that the adult central nervous system was fixed and could not be repaired. Recently, growth of functional imaging techniques revealed that the adult central nervous system can get well from injury through neuroplasticity, and that this recovery can bring functional improvement. Because this recovery thro...

Especially in the inpatient setting, physiatrists provide general medical treatment like internal medicine to maintain medical stability and provide secondary prevention of disability. Physiatrists do not do operation yet have many procedural opportunities for diagnosis and treatment. Many of these procedures may require fellowship or innovative training to perform. These PM&R treatment procedures include: EMG (electromyography) : Introducing fine needle electrodes in muscles and observing the noted motor unit potentials when the muscles are activated to help distinguish whether weakness is due to muscle or nerve dysfunction (i.e., myopathy vs. neuropathy). NCS (nerve conduction studies) : Usage of electrodes to record motor and sensory responses that are propagated by electrical stimuli. This treatment can help distinguish the location of a nervous system lesion (radiculopathy, peripheral neuropathy, motor neuron disease, or neuromuscular junction). Peripheral jo...

In Many countries, 13-14% of the population have some degree of disability. The demand for rehabilitation services will rise as evidence accrues for their usefulness and as more people survive longer with substantial disability. Recent evidence strongly supports the provision of well organized, coordinated, multidisciplinary rehabilitation services based on a problem-oriented method. In the future, specific interventions will be more evidence-based, leading to the more appropriate use of interventions and more appropriate referrals to professional facilities. Rehabilitation has recently seen many practical inventions and new evidence for specific interventions, but the major advances in rehabilitation are theoretical rather than practical. Firstly, the approach to patients has moved from a mainly medical one to one in which psychological and sociocultural aspects are equally important. Secondly, the need for organized professional rehabilitation services—for example, for neuro...
