Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation is the sum of activities required to ensure patients the best possible physical conditions so that they may by their own efforts regain as normal as possible a place in the community and lead an active, productive life.
Clinical team approach to RehabilitationThe rehabilitation team concept gained popularity after World War II with the need to care for a large number of injured soldiers, particularly those with amputations.
Because contemporary medical care is often fragmented with insufficient communication among clinicians, it is especially worthwhile to describe a model of excellent care in which all parties work co-operatively.
