Physiatry, also known as Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (MFR), is a medical speciality that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the musculoskeletal and neuromuscular system, which result in functional limitations.

Physiatrists use various diagnostic methods to assess and understand patients' musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions.
