Abstract
In recent decades, the field of rehabilitation has undergone substantial development, growth, and acceptance. Rehabilitation addresses the impact of health conditions on a person’s daily life by optimizing their functioning and reducing their disability experience. Rehabilitation expands the focus of health beyond preventative and curative care to ensure that people with health conditions can remain as independent as possible and participate in education, work, and meaningful life roles.1) A research definition of rehabilitation has been recently published.2) Scientific and clinical research has generated a body of knowledge that strongly supports the use of many rehabilitation interventions with positive outcomes in various populations and health conditions.
