AB Rehabilitation  medicine  is  the  multispecialty  discipline  involved  in  diagnosis  and  therapy  of  individuals  with  congenital  and  acquired  disabilities.  The  goals  of  rehabilitation  medicine  are  to  maximize  functional  capabilities  and  improve  quality  of  life.  Disabilities  are  described  using  the  World  Health  Organization’s  International  Classification  of  Function,  Health,  and  Disability.  Three  aspects  are  evaluated  in  every  patient:  (1)  the  impact  of  the  disability  on  body  structure  and  function,  (2)  the  impact  of  the  disability  on  activity  and  participation  in  society,  and  (3)  the  environmental  factors  with  an  impact  on  the  individual’s  function.  These  three  areas  are  the  common  framework  for  discussion  of  a  disabling  condition  and  its  therapy.
