ABSTRACT
Rehabilitation practice is a combination of art and science.1 This book is primarily about the science available to inform and guide multiple sclerosis (MS) rehabilitation. But the art of practice cannot be forgotten. According to Tate,1 the art of rehabilitation reects a mix of the creativity, critical reasoning, and empathy necessary to generate and offer potential solutions to address the complex problems that people often face. The art of rehabilitation also captures the holistic and humanistic aspects of practice and the importance of getting to know the people with whom we work. The art of practice can contribute to the development of meaningful patient-provider partnerships that support health, functioning, and well-being, regardless of a person’s level of impairment.
