Document Summary
The goal of rehabilitation is to increase the rate and level of functional recovery by: fostering and guiding natural recovery processes, decreasing the development of maladaptive patterns, implementing physical, pharmacological, cognitive, and behavioural interventions. Physical and pharmacological interventions are still in the words. World health organization: international classification of functioning (2000) The biopsychosocial model of neuropsychological rehabilitation is made up of four different levels: Abnormalities/changes in the structure and/or function of an organ/system. Abnormalities/changes in structure and/or function of the whole body set in personal context. Abnormalities/changes/restrictions in the interaction between a person and their environment/physical context (quality or quantity of behaviour) Changes, limitations/abnormalities in the position of the person of their social context: rehabilitation targets the pathology and impairment. Structural damage: er, neuroplastic ity enhancemen t. Diaschesis (von monakow): neural shock other distal tissue that had previously received input from damaged tissue becomes dysfunctional. Can occur in cortex after subcortical lesions: less activity sent to cortical regions.
