It focuses on improving function through surgical and nonsurgical management and is recognized as an important part of the care of both acute and chronic problems. Rehabilitation programs address a variety of problems, including congenital or acquired musculoskeletal problems (eg, bone deformities, arthritis, or fractures) as well as neurologic trauma or diseases that affect limb function (eg, spinal cord injury [SCI], stroke, or poliomyelitis). Rehabilitation in these patients frequently involves increasing muscle strength, maximizing motor control, training individuals to make the most effective use of residual function, and providing adaptive equipment to minimize limb deformities.
