CALL FOR PAPERS & POSTERS
Physiatry '26

Present your work at Physiatry ’26, the AAP Annual Meeting, February 17 – 21, 2026 in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

All abstracts presented at the AAP Annual Meeting will be published as an online supplement at www.AJPMR.com – the official website of The American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation. Note: We do not provide letters of publication.

POSTER PRESENTATIONS: Submitted as either Case Reports or Research Studies, posters will be presented in the poster gallery - an exhibit providing a forum for a one-on-one, in-depth discussion using narrative and visual material to display and communicate the objectives, methods, results and conclusions of a specific study. Use of visual material such as photographs, charts, and diagrams is very important. The Presenting Author, as the resource person or consultant, must be present at specified times on the day(s) of presentation to engage in discussion with interested individuals.

SCIENTIFIC PAPER PRESENTATIONS: These oral presentations are intended to convey high-quality research practices to the meeting participants. Submissions must be experimental in nature and will be selected based not only on their intrinsic scientific merit but also for their educational value in illustrating the research process.

Abstracts must be submitted as a Scientific Paper Presentation to be eligible for an oral (podium) presentation and for the Best Paper prizes. Oral Presentations will be on Friday, Feb. 20. If selected, the presenter must be available on this day to present. In addition to the 300-word abstract, a 1000-word extended abstract is required.
