What Is Acute Rehabilitation?
Acute, or inpatient, rehabilitation is a medically-based team approach to improving function lost due to illness, injury and/or disease. In addition to you and your doctor, your team is made up of trained, experienced experts from different disciplines, such as nurses, occupational therapists, and physical therapists. The goal of acute rehabilitation is to restore strength, improve physical and cognitive function, and maximize your functional safety and independence so you can return to living at home and engaging with the community.
