Rehabilitation is a goal-oriented dynamic process, which enables individuals with impairments, activity limitations, and/or participation restrictions to identify and reach the optimal physical, mental and/or social functional level. This is achieved through client-focused partnerships with families, providers and the community. Rehabilitation focuses on abilities and aims to facilitate independence and social integration. Rehabilitation addresses the biological, psychological and social needs of individuals and the social environmental contexts in which they live. The mandate of rehabilitation not only includes addressing the treatment of health care needs of patients and families but also empowering clients and families through the provision of information and education. A fundamental component of the rehabilitative process is the patient's ability to embrace his or her own role in recovery.
