Rehabilitation Medicine

What is Rehabilitation Medicine?

Rehabilitation medicine is a field that promotes functional recovery and quality of life for patients with acquired disabilities from strokes, brain conditions, spinal cord injuries, bone and joint surgeries and injuries or trauma. It focuses on restoring physical function, improving quality of life, and promoting overall well-being.

There are key rehabilitation treatment goals at different stages of recovery. They range from acute stages to long term wellbeing in personal independence and community return to school, as well as work and hobbies.

Rehabilitation medicine addresses a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Neurological conditions: Stroke, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and cerebral palsy.
  • Musculoskeletal conditions: Fractures, amputations, arthritis, and other joint disorders.
  • Cardiovascular conditions: Heart attack, heart failure, and pulmonary disease.
  • Other conditions: Burns, chronic pain, and general deconditioning.

The goals of rehabilitation vary depending on the individual's specific needs and condition. In the acute phase of recovery, the focus may be on preventing complications, stabilizing the patient's condition, and initiating early intervention to promote healing and recovery. As the patient progresses through rehabilitation, the goals may shift towards improving functional abilities, reducing pain, and enhancing quality of life.

Long-term rehabilitation aims to help patients achieve maximum independence and reintegrate into their communities.
