Physical Integrity

Meaning

Physical Integrity is the clinical and physiological state of the human body characterized by structural soundness, functional resilience, and the absence of systemic pathology or chronic injury. This state encompasses the robust health of all tissues, including musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and neurological systems, and reflects the body’s capacity to maintain homeostasis and withstand physical and metabolic stressors.
