Physiatrists care for patients with neurologic disorders or injuries, which last their lifetime. As patients age with a neurologic injury, there are unique aspects to aging in these populations, and physiatrists are positioned to be the experts in their rehabilitation care. We bring together experts caring for adults with post polio syndrome, cerebral palsy, and spina bifida. Discussions on recommendations for exercise, bone health, strength and conditioning, pain and fatigue, and expectations in mobility. Tips on incorporating these patients into a physiatry practice.
