Rehabilitation

 

The aim of Rehabilitation is to re-establish all or a portion of the patient's physical, mental and sensory abilities which were lost during a disease, injury, or illness. Rehabilitation includes assisting the patient to recompense for the deficiency which cannot be reversed medically. It is prescribed mostly for many types of injury, disease or illness, amputations, arthritis, orthopedic injuries, cancer, cardiac disease, stroke, spinal cord, neurological problems, and traumatic brain injuries.

Rehabilitation helps to minimize or slow down the disabling effects of chronic health conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes by equipping people with self-management strategies and the assistive products they require, or by addressing pain or other complications
