Leaders in the Science of Redefining Recovery

The Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation is committed to evolving treatment paradigms for individuals with disabilities, pain and impaired function.

Our internationally recognized physician-scientists and biomedical investigators collaborate with both industry and federal support, spearheading numerous clinical trial initiatives and basic and translational research projects. We seek to unlock innovative approaches to advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence, three-dimensional (3D) printing and implantable devices; advance nonopioid pain management strategies, including biomechanical interventions and regenerative medicine approaches, and examine models of care delivery and transitions across the rehabilitation continuum, with an emphasis on quality improvement. Our curiosity covers the entire lifespan as we investigate interventions to optimize functional outcomes in children with congenital or acquired disabilities, as well as treatments to maintain or restore functional independence in older adults with multiple chronic conditions or frailty.

The Department’s collaboration extends beyond Montefiore Einstein to redefine recovery by advancing evidence-based rehabilitation care, fostering innovation and addressing the needs of both local and global patient populations.
