A2 - Cruz, Ernesto PY - 2015 T2 - CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment: Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation AB - Immobility is the enemy of function. Much of physiatric treatment revolves around movement and its antithesis, immobility. This concept applies equally to generalized immobility (progressive functional decline in senior citizens as a result of cumulative effects of pain, fear of falling, and muscle weakness), forced immobility (bed rest during hospitalization or experienced by astronauts in microgravity), and immobilization of discrete body parts (range-of-motion [ROM] restriction caused by spasticity, contracture, or splinting or casting of fractures).
