Abstract
The Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation was born as a radiology journal, and over its century of existence it has gone through
various names and owners while shifting its contents from radiology to physical medicine
to physical medicine and rehabilitation. These developments are sketched in light
of the growth and eventual merger of physical medicine and rehabilitation in the United
States and societal historical developments in the United States and elsewhere.
