Abstract

Rehabilitation Medicine

Gavril Cornuțiu

By briefly analysing the path of the evolution of medical science, in progressive expansion, one could conclude that medical treatments are divided into three main categories: a. causal, b. pathogenic, c. boosting treatments for the body's sanogenous mechanisms, without which, no treatment is effective. Therefore, the passage of medical science in a new stage is proposed, a stage that could expand to what is called Rehabilitation Medicine, proposed as a freestanding medical specialty.
