What Is Rehabilitation?[edit | edit source]
A Global Need
A study in 2019 found that there were 2.4 billion people worldwide who were living with a health condition that would benefit from rehabilitation at some point in the course of their illness or injury, which equates to about one in three people in the world.[1] This was equivalent to 310 million years of life lived with disability.[1] These numbers have already increased by 63% since about 30 years ago and are expected to continue to increase significantly as the global population grows, ages, and lives longer, many with chronic conditions and non-communicable diseases.[1][2] The three largest groups of health conditions found to contribute to disability were musculoskeletal disorders, sensory impairments, and neurological disorders.[1]
