AB Ultimately  the  goal  of  physical  medicine  and  rehabilitation  is  to  restore  an  individual  to  the  highest  level  of  function.  By  definition,  functioning  is  usually  thought  of  in  mechanical  terms—walking,  running,  and  climbing.  In  the  sports  world,  it  is  a  question  of  swimming,  soccer,  basketball,  cycling,  skiing,  skating,  etc.  We  often  take  for  granted  movement  or  the  daily  activities  of  getting  dressed,  bathed,  or  going  to  the  restroom—that  is,  until  we  no  longer  have  the  ability  to  perform  these  tasks  independently.
