Introduction

It's more than a physical hardship to live with impairment or a health condition that interferes with the natural functioning of the human body. While the experience of losing control of one's mind and body is emotionally damaging, and living with pain is much more difficult, the phrase "rehabilitation" is fraught with misconceptions, making it difficult to seek help. We at Wellknox recognise the difficulty and offer a variety of Medical Rehabilitation programmes to assist people in regaining their freedom [1].

Description

What is medical rehabilitation? Physical medicine and rehabilitation are combined in a Medical Rehabilitation Program. Its goal is to help persons who have physical limitations due to injuries, medical illnesses, or operations regain functional capacity and improve their quality of life. Rehabilitation is an important aspect of recovery since it enables people to live a fulfilling life regardless of their age or the health condition with which they are currently or have previously coped.

Primary care is a type of care that is coordinated, comprehensive, and personalised, and it is accessible on a first-contact and on-going basis. Several tasks can be used to define it [2]:

(1) Medical diagnosis and treatment

(2) Psychological diagnosis and treatment

(3) Personal support of patients of all backgrounds

(4) Communication of diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and prognosis information

(5) Maintenance of patients with chronic illness

(6) Disability and disease prevention through detection, education, behavioural change, and preventive treatment

The physician's obligations and tasks go beyond medical diagnosis and therapy in terms of technology. As the number of patients requiring rehabilitation grows, the medical problems of those with physical disabilities become more complex, and primary care physicians who understand the needs of chronically ill patients become scarcer, it becomes increasingly important for physiatrists to understand the tasks that make up the clinical work of physicians providing primary care for patients with such problems [3].

Health maintenance of chronically ill patients

There has historically been little coordination between the many settings, providers, and treatments involved in the care of chronically sick patients. Chronic disease treatments are frequently complex, making it difficult for patients to stick to treatment plans. In most cases, effective medical treatment necessitates more frequent visits to the doctor's office than is typical in acute care. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the same intervention, whether medical or behavioural, in treating chronic illnesses varies depending on when the intervention is offered during the illness. Because many chronic diseases frequently coexist, fragmentation of care is a problem for individuals with chronic diseases. Because of their broad area of practise, physiatrists are well suited to serve as gatekeepers in the overall medical management of patients [4].

Preventive screenings

are an essential component of any health promotion programme. Many preventive screens have been identified as a cost-effective method of detecting and treating potential health problems before they develop or worsen. Keeping up with the newest scientific ideas on screens, however, might be difficult. For dozens of health concerns, age- and gender-specific preventative screening recommendations exist, but they vary from organisation to organisation and are often updated as new information becomes available [5].

Conclusion

Physicians must recognise that education is their major responsibility in prevention. Accurate risk factor knowledge is more likely to reinforce healthpromoting behaviour and discourage self-destructive behaviour. The physician must recognise the possibility for behaviour change and become acquainted with available options in the area. The maintenance action most directly associated with the physician, routine screening for certain disorders, should be done selectively.
