Description
Summary:[...]rehabilitation is an active process, distinguished both from spontaneous improvement in the patient (recuperation or convalescence) and from services supplied to the non-participating patient (care). [...]environmental factors have been incorporated into the World Health Organization's revised framework, the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) 6 (see Barnes, p iv3 ). [...]people with motor neurone disease, and their carers, are sometimes overwhelmed by the plethora of services that beat paths to their door, but which frequently seem unaware of each other.
