Rehabilitation is the coordinated set of interventions designed to restore, maintain, or optimise function and participation in people affected by illness, injury, or disability. It is interdisciplinary by nature, drawing on physical, occupational, speech, and psychological therapies alongside medical and nursing care, and is organised around assessment of impairment, goal-setting, structured therapeutic activity, and measurement of outcomes such as independence, mobility, and quality of life. In the context of addiction and behavioural disorders, rehabilitation combines medical stabilisation, psychosocial support, relapse-prevention strategies, and reintegration into daily and occupational life, while in physical and neurological conditions it targets recovery of strength, balance, and adaptive capacity. Effective programmes are individualised, evidence-based, and attentive to barriers, facilitators, and discharge planning, with the aim of reducing dependency and secondary complications. Research published in this area by the journal addresses these dimensions, including rehabilitation of patients recovering from sepsis in intensive care, evidence-based occupational therapy for multiple-sclerosis rehabilitation and the barriers and facilitators to its implementation, dietary intake patterns in alcohol-rehabilitation centres, neuromuscular and balance interventions, prediction of discharge disposition after traumatic injury, music therapy within health services, and management of recurrent fractures in ageing adults. These contributions span addiction recovery, neurological and musculoskeletal rehabilitation, and the organisation of rehabilitative care.
