General rehabilitation, complications and evaluation

Abstract

Review of the literature regarding general aspects of neurological rehabilitation reveals three areas of professional and scientific advances. The first focuses on the importance of education in rehabilitation medicine and the assessment of factors contributing to the outcome of neurological rehabilitation programs. The second area represents the developing practice of interventional restorative neurology within neurorehabilitation programs. The third is centered on increased awareness of the practical value of new achievements in the neurosciences, especially with respect to recovery processes after injury to the nervous system.
