When we talk about medical rehabilitation, we refer to that independent medical specialty, responsible for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation management of people with various conditions and co-morbidities of all ages, in order to promote their physical and cognitive abilities and performance, and to enhance their quality of life.
The therapeutic objective, which used to focus on healing the lesion and anatomical restoration of the injured organ or segment, is today complemented by a concern for the restoration of function, which nature does not spontaneously grant during passive convalescence.
It is very important to restore functional capacity for people with physical disabilities, with the aim of recovering and maintaining optimal function. The patient will be able to return to his or her previous activity if he or she is considered functionally recovered.
Medical recovery is an active process by which patients fully recover or reach their optimal physical, social and mental potential, and their reintegration into the most suitable environment for them is essential.
Prevention and cure of disease are essential pillars of medicine, and medical recovery is a necessary adjunct to them.
