Abstract
Definition of Medical RehabilitationA full definition of medical rehabilitation should contain three parts. The first is a statement of aim: ideally, to settle or resettle an individual in his normal domestic setting, and in work appropriate to his talents. Most patients and doctors can measure their success against these two practical indices, although what is regarded as socially desirable varies widely and some individuals prefer a highly idiosyncratic way of life.This publication has 28 references indexed in Scilit:
