Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation refers to the process of helping individuals recover from an injury, illness, or disability through the use of various therapeutic interventions. Rehabilitation can take place in a variety of settings, including hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, and outpatient clinics.

The goal of rehabilitation is to help individuals regain their physical, cognitive, and functional abilities to the greatest extent possible. This may involve a range of treatments, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and other therapeutic interventions. Rehabilitation may also involve the use of assistive devices, such as wheelchairs, crutches, or prosthetics, to help individuals regain their independence and mobility.

Rehabilitation is an important aspect of healthcare and is often an essential part of the recovery process for individuals who have experienced an injury, illness, or disability. It can help individuals regain their quality of life and improve their overall well-being.
