Rehabilitation is an active, goal-oriented process maximizing resumption of function . It represents hope of recovery . In 2001, the World Health Organization (WHO) developed the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) (Figure 13 .1) . This important framework reminds us of the complexity of human function and allows dissection of factors that limit maximal performance . It therefore facilitates clear goal setting and treatment .
