Summary

Physical medicine and rehabilitation emerged as a specialty during the first half of the twentieth century. Significant growth and development was stimulated by two world wars and epidemics of paralytic poliomyelitis. Physicians and therapists were needed to treat soldiers returning from war with serious injuries and chronic disabling conditions. The availability of antibiotics and improved surgical techniques during World War II allowed more injured soldiers to survive, albeit with significant disabilities. Among civilians, severe epidemics of polio and industrial and motor vehicle accidents were major causes of disability. These events necessitated the development of new restorative treatment programs incorporating new physical and rehabilitative techniques, and establishment of training programs for physicians and therapists to administer treatments [1].
