Abstract
Abstract: Advocacy for diversity, inclusion, and equity within healthcare continues to be an issue of importance and attention nationally. However, definitions of diversity often do not include people with disability. This commentary describes barriers to healthcare utilization experienced by people with disabilities in the United States and presents a rationale to refocus disability through this lens of diversity, equity, and inclusion within the US systems of care. Bringing light to the ongoing challenges and inequities faced by our patients with disability is an essential first step toward improved inclusivity, leading to improved welfare of persons with disability as a whole.
期刊介绍：
American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation focuses on the practice, research and educational aspects of physical medicine and rehabilitation. Monthly issues keep physiatrists up-to-date on the optimal functional restoration of patients with disabilities, physical treatment of neuromuscular impairments, the development of new rehabilitative technologies, and the use of electrodiagnostic studies. The Journal publishes cutting-edge basic and clinical research, clinical case reports and in-depth topical reviews of interest to rehabilitation professionals.
Topics include prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal conditions, brain injury, spinal cord injury, cardiopulmonary disease, trauma, acute and chronic pain, amputation, prosthetics and orthotics, mobility, gait, and pediatrics as well as areas related to education and administration. Other important areas of interest include cancer rehabilitation, aging, and exercise. The Journal has recently published a series of articles on the topic of outcomes research. This well-established journal is the official scholarly publication of the Association of Academic Physiatrists (AAP).
