description

Rehabilitation has been defined by the WHO as a process aimed at enabling people with disabilities to reach and maintain their optimal physical, sensory, intellectual, psychiatric and/or social functional levels, providing them with the tools to change their lives towards a higher level of independence (13). Rehabilitation includes all measures aimed at reducing the impact of disabling and handicapping conditions and enabling the disabled and handicapped to achieve social integration (14).
