The World Health Assembly Resolution, “Strengthening rehabilitation in health systems,” defines
rehabilitation as a set of interventions designed to optimize functioning in individuals with health conditions or impairments in interaction with their environment.
Rehabilitation is person-centered and encompasses a broad range of therapeutic measures. These include provision of assistive technologies and products, but also exercise, training, education, support and counseling, and adaptation of the environment to eliminate barriers.
Rehabilitation services involve diverse professionals working together as part of multidisciplinary teams, such as physicians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, prosthetists, psychologists, nurses, and others. Assistive technology provision, such as wheelchairs and hearing aids, is
integrated with other rehabilitation activities for better outcomes.
These services are available in various health care settings, from community-based care to hospitals and clinics.
