Independent Physiatry Evaluation (Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation)

An Independent Physiatry Evaluation is a comprehensive evaluation of the claimant’s musculoskeletal soft tissue injuries, nervous system related impairments and pain syndromes such as fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome. These medical specialists spend considerable time interviewing and examining the claimant determining the extent of any measurable impairment, residual dysfunction and disability, while providing recommendations for a safe and cost-effective return to their pre-accident level of function. Physical medicine and rehabilitation involves the management of disorders that alter the function and performance of the claimant. Emphasis is placed on the optimization of function through the combined use of medications, physical modalities, physical training with therapeutic exercise, movement & activities modification, adaptive equipments and assistive device, orthotics (braces), prosthesis, and experiential training approaches.
