Over the past decade there has been increased emphasis upon prevention of disability. Although it is obvious that preventing a disability is the most desirable approach, disabilities will nonetheless occur. When they do, we must treat them and prevent additional disabilities from following the original ones. Indeed, this separation of disabilities has led to a clearer understanding of their prevention, namely primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
在过去十年里，人们越来越重视残疾预防。虽然显然预防残疾是最理想的方法，但残疾仍会发生。当残疾发生时，我们必须对其进行治疗，并防止继发残疾。事实上，这种对残疾的区分使人们对其预防有了更清晰的认识，即一级预防、二级预防和三级预防。
