AB  - Rehabilitation  involves  care  of  the  injured  person  with  either  neurologic  or  musculoskeletal  problems.  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.
