This article describes advances to the rehabilitation programs at major military medical centers since the onset of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The demands on military health care in times of war produce advances in the various rehabilitation professions.

One project relates to the application of voice-sensitive technology. The other project describes the utilization of virtual reality technology through a Firearm Training System. The article also explains an adaptive sports program and how recreation is part of a robust community reintegration program. Lastly, this article discusses the Center for the Intrepid, which is one of two new amputee care centers built to support the advanced rehabilitation of war-wounded amputees.
