Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation

The goal of physical medicine and rehabilitation, commonly referred to as physiatry, is to improve and restore functional ability and quality of life for those who have physical impairments or disabilities. Injuries to the spinal cord, brain injuries, strokes, as well as discomfort or impairment brought on by strained muscles, torn ligaments, or damaged nerves, can all fall under this category. Relief of pain in various dimensions, from acute and simple to chronic and difficult, is dealt with in the area of medicine and health care known as pain management. In the normal course of their work, most doctors and other healthcare providers offer some form of pain management.

In the scientific literature, cancer rehabilitation has been described as a separate branch of medicine that aims to lessen or eliminate the negative effects of cancer treatment while enhancing the strength, functionality, and quality of life of survivors. Surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, targeted therapy, and synthetic lethality are all options for treating cancer; these treatments are typically administered separately and are most effective when combined. The location, size, and grade of the tumor, the disease's stage, the patient's general health, and the therapy option are all factors in the decision.

Both generalized and local bone loss are significantly more common in cancer patients than in the general population, regardless of the kind of disease, as determined by bone mineral density (BMD) testing. Numerous, connected causes contribute to bone loss in people with cancer. With relatively few studies on other cancers, the majority of current research has been on bone loss in patients with breast and prostate cancer. Although few studies have been powered sufficiently to include fractures as primary endpoints, and patients are frequently neither identified nor treated in accordance with published guidelines, anti-resorptive therapies have consistently shown to be effective in limiting bone loss in cancer patients.

An organic molecule known as a vitamin or a group of molecules with similar chemical properties, or "vitamins" is a crucial micronutrient that a living thing must have in small amounts for the proper operation of its metabolism. The body cannot produce essential nutrients, either completely or in adequate amounts, thus they must be received through diet. A dietary supplement is a manufactured good that is taken as a pill, capsule, tablet, powder, or liquid to enhance one's diet. To boost the amount of nutrients consumed, a supplement can contain nutrients that have been taken from dietary sources or that are synthetic.

Kinesiology and physical education investigate how sport, exercise, and physical activity affect people's health and happiness. To learn more about how the human body reacts to physical exercise, they employ fields including biomechanics, anatomy, physiology, and psychology. The study of movement, function, and performance, as well as how that movement impacts general health, is covered in the large discipline of kinesiology. Exercise science is a branch of kinesiology that concentrates on the physiological processes that underlie human reaction and adaptation to exercise.
