Abstract/ Overview
In order to better conceptualise what rehabilitation is about, one should
have a. good knowledge of what both disability and rehabilitation are.
Rehabilitation as a process can only be discussed or considered when a
disabling condition exists. It is thus a necessary precondition for the
discussion of rehabilitation process. In rehabilitation circles disability
implies a medically defined condition. It can be described as any long
term or chronic physical, emotional, or mental condition which has come
about as a result of disease or illness, inherited or congenital defect,
trauma or other calamity to the mind or the body. The condition should
be severe enough to limit an individual's capacity to function in any
activity, productive or otherwise. Rehabilitation's goal is to address the
disabling condition and restore residual functional capacity to a person
who has the handicaping condition.
