Dramatic changes in the health care landscape over the next few decades undoubtedly will affect rehabilitation specialists' practice. In the multidisciplinary field of regenerative medicine, cell, tissue, or organ substitutes are used to enhance the healing potential of the body. Given that the restoration of normal functioning of injured or diseased tissues is expected to be the ultimate goal of these therapies, the future of regenerative medicine is, undeniably, tightly intertwined with that of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation specialists not only must be aware of cutting-edge medical advances as they relate to regenerative medicine but also must work closely with basic scientists to guide the development of clinically relevant protocols. The purposes of this article are to provide a current perspective on biological approaches to the management of musculoskeletal disorders and to highlight the needed integration of physical therapeutics with regenerative medicine.
在未来几十年,医疗保健领域的巨大变化无疑将影响康复专家的实践。在再生医学这一多学科领域,细胞、组织或器官替代品被用于增强身体的愈合潜力。鉴于受伤或患病组织的正常功能恢复有望成为这些疗法的最终目标,再生医学的未来无疑与康复紧密交织在一起。康复专家不仅必须了解与再生医学相关的最新医学进展,还必须与基础科学家密切合作,指导制定具有临床相关性的方案。本文的目的是提供对管理肌肉骨骼疾病的生物学方法的最新观点,并强调将物理治疗与再生医学相结合的必要性。
