What do you mean by rehabilitation?

Rehabilitation Rehabilitation means “taking all effective measures to prevent the occurrence and mitigate the effects of disability in order to reintegrate the disabled person into society. Rehabilitation refers not only to the training of persons with disabilities to adapt to their surroundings, but also to the adjustment of the environmental and social conditions of persons with disabilities to facilitate their reintegration into society. Rehabilitation services should be planned with the participation of the person with disabilities, their families, and the community in which they live (WHO, 1980). Rehabilitation ≠ recovery In our language, the term Rehab (Recovery) is synonymous with recovery from illness. Recovery generally refers to the decline in health after illness and the return of health to pre-morbid levels after treatment and rest, i.e., 100% recovery. But Rehabitation refers to the decline in health after injury or illness, although actively dealt with, but has formed a disability, health level recovery is less than the original level of the situation, that is, less than 100% recovery. This makes our understanding of rehabilitation quite different from that of the international community. This is noteworthy. The various measures of rehabilitation involve medical, engineering, educational, social, and vocational fields, and are called medical rehabilitation, rehabilitation engineering, educational rehabilitation, social rehabilitation, and vocational rehabilitation, etc. They constitute comprehensive rehabilitation.
