Rehabilitation is an educational problem-solving process that focuses on disability and aims to minimize the patient's disability and distress and the stress on family members. There is established evidence that rehabilitation helps individual patients, and now there is good evidence that applying rehabilitation policies generally improves outcome in groups of patients. Moreover, well-organized specialist rehabilitation is efficient because total resources are reduced.
康复是一个以残疾为重点的教育性问题解决过程，旨在尽量减少患者的残疾和痛苦以及对家庭成员的压力。已有证据表明康复对个体患者有帮助，现在也有充分证据表明实施康复政策总体上能改善患者群体的治疗效果。此外，组织良好的专科康复是有效的，因为能减少总体资源消耗。
