Scope of Rehabilitation Medicine

Rehabilitation medicine is a system of medical science with a clear content. It is a medical science system that applies medical science and its related technology to develop the potential ability and residual function of people with functional impairment. From the broad concept of rehabilitation medicine, rehabilitation medicine and clinical medicine are inseparably linked. After the treatment of various clinical diseases, there must be a rehabilitation process, especially for some more destructive diseases and various chronic diseases. In this sense, it can be considered that the whole clinical medicine will become rehabilitation medicine in the later stage. In a narrow sense, the concept of rehabilitation medicine is mainly focused on the rehabilitation of human movement disorders and the rehabilitation of various functional disorders closely related to this center. Such dysfunctions can be existing or potential. Because rehabilitation can maximize the restoration of human function and enable patients to return to life, work, and society, almost all patients with illnesses, injuries, and disabilities caused by illness or injury require rehabilitation treatment. The most common indications for rehabilitation are: 1. cardiovascular system diseases, including hypertension (hypertension), coronary heart disease (coro-nary heartdisease), arteriosclerosis, vasculitis and thrombophlebitis. 2. 2, respiratory system diseases, including chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, bronchial asthma (bronchialasthma), lung infections and tuberculosis, etc. 3.Motor system diseases include arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteochondrosis, frozen shoulder, neck, back, back and leg diseases, fracture and orthopedic surgery, etc. 4.Neurological diseases include hemiplegia, paraplegia, poliomyelitis, peripheral nerve injury and progressive muscular atrophy, etc. 5.Psychiatric disorders including schizophrenia, hysteria, neurasthenia and personality abnormalities, etc. 6, gynecological diseases including abnormal uterine position and postpartum diseases, etc. 7, pediatric diseases including children’s physical and intellectual development disorders, spinal deformities and limb dysfunction, etc. 8.Geriatric diseases including various degenerative diseases, etc. 9.Trauma and other diseases include head, face, neck and trunk injuries, spinalcordinjury (SCI), burns, post-operative tumor, hearing impairment, visual impairment and speech impairment, etc. From these most common indications for rehabilitation, it can be seen that rehabilitation is a broad spectrum of the entire medical system and is required in almost all subspecialties. With guided rehabilitation measures, it is possible to return to a level of mostly or fully independent living. Assuming that a person has a childhood illness and a disability that has worsened without reasonable rehabilitation, the outcome would be very different if a variety of rehabilitative measures, education and exercise were implemented as early as possible with the goal of independent living. Here, there is a difference between passive waiting for recovery and active exercise for recovery.
