Medical Rehabilitation Sciences is a relatively new field of study that combines the principles of medicine, biology, and rehabilitation to provide comprehensive care to patients with physical and functional disabilities.
Over the years, the field has continued to grow and evolve, with the establishment of dedicated departments of medical rehabilitation sciences in universities and hospitals around the world. These departments typically offer specialized programs in areas such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, audiology, and rehabilitation psychology.
Today, medical rehabilitation sciences departments play an important role in the healthcare system, providing critical care to patients with disabilities and helping them to achieve optimal physical, social, and psychological functioning.
