Rehabilitation not only refers to training disabled people to adapt to the surrounding environment, but also refers to adjusting their environmental and social conditions to facilitate their return to society. Disabled people themselves, their families and their communities should participate in the planning of rehabilitation services. In Chinese, rehabilitation and recovery after illness are synonymous. Recovery generally refers to the decline of health level after illness and recovery to the pre-illness level after treatment and rest, that is, 100% recovery. Rehabilitation refers to the situation that the health level has decreased after injury, but it has become disabled after active treatment, and the health level cannot be restored to the original level, that is, it cannot reach 100% recovery.
China has always regarded rehabilitation as a synonym for "complete recovery" after illness, which makes our understanding of rehabilitation quite different from that of the international community. This is noteworthy. Various measures of field rehabilitation involve medicine, engineering, education, society, occupation and other fields, which are called medical rehabilitation, rehabilitation engineering, educational rehabilitation, social rehabilitation, vocational rehabilitation, etc. They constitute comprehensive rehabilitation. Connotation ◆ Rehabilitation is aimed at dysfunction, aiming at improving the local and overall functional level, taking the whole person as the object, and aiming at improving the quality of life and returning to society.
