What this paper is
This is a policy commentary arguing for the creation of a representative organization for academic Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (PRM) in Europe. It outlines governance principles, potential activities, and the political context for establishing this body, but reports no patient data, clinical trials, or treatment outcomes. There are no findings here that can change clinical practice with patients.
