Navigating the Landscape of Medical Rehabilitation Services

The global medical rehabilitation services market size is expected to reach USD 385.9 billion by 2030. Medical rehabilitation services are intended to reduce disability and optimize functioning in individuals with specific health conditions.

The growth of the market is attributed to the rising geriatric population, the increasing prevalence of chronic conditions among adults, and the increasing number of children with developmental conditions. These factors are anticipated to increase the demand for the services due to the need for rehabilitation to prevent, treat, and manage these conditions. Rehabilitation services help to either minimize or slow down the disabling effects of chronic conditions in patients. For instance, according to the WHO as of July 2022, 1.71 billion people suffer from musculoskeletal conditions globally. These injuries are a leading cause of disability globally that limit the mobility and agility of patients leading to early retirement.

Medical rehabilitation helps to reduce hospital stays, thereby reducing healthcare expenditure, which is anticipated to boost market growth. Further, the increasing adoption of telerehabilitation services is projected to further drive the market due to the increased affordability and reduced costs. Increasing initiatives are undertaken by the government to increase the adoption of these services to fuel the growth of the market. For instance, Community Based Inclusive Development (CBID) program launched by the Indian Government in May 2021 aimed at providing training to rehabilitation workers with ground knowledge for managing cross-disability issues in disabled individuals working with ASHA and Anganwadi workers.

The increasing number of initiatives undertaken by the key players in the market in order to provide innovative solutions to the user is estimated to further drive the market during the forecast period. For instance, in October 2021, MindMaze Healthcare announced a partnership with Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital (RBH) for its MindPod platform targeted to treat motor and cognitive restoration in stroke patients. MindPod is an animated gaming environment developed by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine's Department of Neurology that helps to repair the nervous systems after a stroke.

idk why, but this little throwaway line from beviin makes me crazy. it's so effortlessly compassionate in the face of boba's self-loathing and resigned certainty that beviin will hate him for what he's done. and like, beviin's gentle reassurance that he isn't going to "find out" anything; he'll just wait for if/when boba wants to share what happened.

beviin's genuinely such a mensch. i want to give him a hug.

Hi Nell0 how are you? I could be better because the first time in my life I broke a bone and it had to be my foot. I was just doing my laundry and all of a sudden I fell. A doctor visit later yep it’s broken and it going to be 6 weeks until it’s good again. Sorry about the rant and also the other day I saw a Ingo is Kyruem fan art and my gosh I ended up remembering that AU you had! If it had continued I would be fighting the reality barrier to be there for him while also trying to get Emmet to come too! Well then I gotta go now but thx for reading! Also quick question. What LOZ game you tried to like but you couldn’t? For me personally I haven’t had that happen… yet! 🧚‍♀️

Hi again, anon!

Make sure to rest properly and then rehabilitate the foot for good propioception for it so you don't get more issues there shortly after! Keep in mind you'll lose some muscle mass in the area too, but that can be won back easily with simple exercises once the immobilization is over. Depending on the bone, maybe leaving it on a cast or such more than 3-4 weeks isn't the best though, there could be stiffness as a result and loss of range of movement (aka ROM).

Don't quote me on that, but uh, yeah. That. And there's also the part of doing a progression and not rushing the recovery once immobilization is over, you'll probably have to start with partial weight and not be able to walk normally right away (I explain myself so badly, sorry. As you probably know by now, English ain't my first language). I hope you recover nicely and don't have any issues!

But ANYWAYS.

The Kyurem Ingo stuff was so great to mess around with! I think I saw a drawing for another version of it not that long ago. Lowkey made me wanna continue my own, but TLOZ + LU still have me on a chokehold.

I haven't tried a TLOZ game that I haven't liked thus far, tho tbh I've been avoiding Zelda I & II for now. Haven't heard great things about the playability of Zelda II, lol.

i just saw a post about andrew and his meds and how he was probably misdiagnosed for depression but he’s actually bipolar which made him manic all the time bc of his meds and!!!! yes to me andrew has always been bipolar. anyways i just had to share this with someone what are you thoughts on bipolar andrew? i know this isn’t kevin related and for that i’m sorry

"i know this isn’t kevin related and for that i’m sorry" HRGJLDHFGDFJG KDFJG FUNNY....!!!! i do answer non-kevin related asks sometimes but the flesh and the spirit must be willing... i'd say it's occasional like an expert briefly commenting on another expert's field

i thought bipolar andrew was canon? isn't it? i've never really had any extensive thoughts about it; to me it was just a fact of the world like the foxes are orange and kevin is beautiful..... well. regardless. i think it's a good hc if that's what it is :) i'm not all that interested in diagnosing aftg characters with personality disorders and i think a diagnosis of something is not always a concrete reality of life and more so a guideline to follow to deal with a specific cluster of symptoms, but as far as they go, andrew being bipolar makes a lot of sense!

i have a friend who went through the foster system when they were younger and a few years ago i do remember we were talking about andrew and they said a lot of how he was written was taken textbook from a 'how to foster troubled children' manual, which i think is most of what i think about re: andrew's mental health. to me it is more interesting (fiction wise!) to think about the material conditions that caused him to develop the symptoms he did, and less so about the ultimate conclusion of them. does this make sense?

tl;dr: i thought andrew being bipolar was already canon, if it's a hc then it's cool :=)

[mad-hunts]

this is a random late night thought, i know, but i'm just thinking about how the orderlies in arkham must react to finding barton cuddling with his bunkie in the morning if they had a nightmare orrr they both needed to get warm (like i believe i've mentioned previously on here before). like, idk what gave me this impression, but for those of them that just don't give a shit about their job rather than the abusive a-holes (i honestly feel like these are the two main categories of orderlies that work at arkham, NGL)...

i really do feel like they'd do something like place bets between themselves as to whether they think something is going on between certain inmates or not. and when they're either proven right or wrong, they exchange the money they bet on it. because these people unfortunately could not care less about the fact that in barton's case (and possibly in other's cases), he literally does it as a means of survival / to have a source of comfort most of the time because that place is god awful

[ralfmaximus]

UnitedHealthcare, the largest health insurance company in the US, is allegedly using a deeply flawed AI algorithm to override doctors' judgments and wrongfully deny critical health coverage to elderly patients. This has resulted in patients being kicked out of rehabilitation programs and care facilities far too early, forcing them to drain their life savings to obtain needed care that should be covered under their government-funded Medicare Advantage Plan.

It's not just flawed, it's flawed in UnitedHealthcare's favor.

That's not a flaw... that's fraud.

Finding Light in the Darkness by Rashik Hasrat Rivu

The Path of Healing at Golden Life On-site Wellness Services.

TAKE ROOT, GIVE HOPE.

Things I know about God, What Is Generosity?

When we are living in this world of shadows & land of monsters, where the choices that we make often take down infamous roads to hell, the path to recovery may seem vast and endless. We, at Golden Life Mirpur Drug Addiction Treatment Center in Bangladesh, understand that addiction is not just an individual fight; it is a social battle calling out to families and societies.

The Weight of Choices

Picture waking up every day burdened by the pressure of what society wishes you to be, not who you truly are. This causes them great anxiety which is what pushes people into drugs, a vacuum from pain, and a world weary stress. Yet all too often, those choices lead them further into darkness, leaving them more alone and more hidden than ever.

We recognize many pathways to addiction — be it because of trauma, loneliness, or just a quest for belonging. A vicious cycle of binge-watching leads to a chasm of desolation and deprivation that forbids your sincere belief whereno light appears in the end.

A Place of Understanding

In addition to treatment, we provide compassion. We are the sanctuary where all calls get answered. We offer a platform for your stories, for young adults dealing with depression and struggling…for those people experiencing their weakest moments…and also for discovering their strengths… It is in these shared experiences that healing starts on the right foot.

The Strength Found in Bonds

A powerful statement is made in the report on the healing processes. This is vital as when individuals open up their fears and share their successes, they realize that their life struggles are not one-sided. Every individual can expose sentiments in group therapy sessions no holds barred, where the rawness of emotions spills out, and closeness is established. Such attachments grow to become umbilical cords to each individual reminding that even at the darkest moments, there still exists a tiny burn that is waiting to be kindled.

How does one restore their self-control?

Recovery cannot be said to be in straight lines but rather in curves with ups and downs. It is the same situation at Golden Life but instead, we live with this ambiguity, acknowledging that restoration takes time and inner strength. Each professional, be it a psychologist, a counselor, or a medical provider, walks with the person and carries out what they know best depending on the stage of that person on their healing journey.

We do not focus on detoxification only; we also eliminate the problems associated with drug abuse – the cause. We assist patients in going back to where the trouble began and help them learn how to find themselves. With every bit of progress, the patients start to take back who they once were.

A Plea to Families

To all the people who are living with a recovering addict; the power of your love is great. Get involved. Speak to your loved ones, and let them know what they can do and how they can help.

Healing is not just about the individual; it’s about rebuilding connections and fostering understanding within families. Together, you can create a nurturing environment that encourages recovery, it is also about repairing relationships and restoring harmony in families. It is also possible to make a society where the healing process is possible.

Adopting Optimism

While it may appear otherwise, at Golden Life we are not treating ailments; we are fostering hope. Everyone has it in them to get up and do all the things that they once loved and be happy again and no longer under the influence of drugs.

If you or a loved one are up against the wall of addiction today, please know that there is still hope and that there is a place of peace waiting for you. Contact us today. Let’s take this step together so we can move out of this sadness and live the beautiful life that is waiting for us.

In this transformation, you are not merely a victim, but a fighter. And in Golden Life, we are privileged to be part of your journey reclaiming your life’s story and starting a new one with limitless opportunities.

We believe that true recovery involves emotional, psychological, and physical well-being. 3. Empathy as Our Guide: We pledge to walk alongside each person with empathy as our guiding principle. We listen intently to their stories, creating space for their pain while nurturing their hopes. Our hearts are open, ready to embrace the complexity of their journeys. 4.

We commit to involving loved ones, providing them with the education and support necessary to understand addiction and promote recovery. Together, we can mend relationships strained by addiction and build a supportive network of care. 5. Continuous Growth: We promise to stay dedicated to learning and evolving. As the landscape of addiction and recovery shifts, so will our approaches. We will remain informed, adaptable, and responsive to the needs of those we serve, ensuring that our methods uphold the highest standards of care.

Our Oath: A Pact of Healing and Hope With each breath, we renew our commitment to protect and serve those who seek refuge in our care. We vow to be a reliable source of hope, a guiding light in times of darkness. In this sacred space, we will create an environment of trust and healing, where every individual is empowered to reclaim their life and purpose. A Call to Humanity We invite you, as part of this shared human experience, to join us in our mission. Whether you are seeking healing, a family member, or an ally in the battle against addiction, your role is essential. Together, we can break down the barriers of stigma and build bridges of understanding. Let us remember that within every challenge lies the growth potential. In the struggle, there is strength. In the journey through pain, there is the promise of renewal. Together, we can transform despair into hope and suffering into resilience. At Golden Life, we are dedicated to the belief that every soul deserves healing. Together, let’s create a future where love overcomes stigma, where every life is cherished, and where the path to recovery is met with unwavering support.

We do not imagine a world where any person is left in the misery of despair, but a world where every man, woman, and child has a chance regardless of the actions they have taken in the past, or the mistakes they have made, can build his life from scratch.

Prehab vs. Rehab: Which Approach Should be Prioritized in the ICU?

For the past five years, I have been engrossed in exploring the history and current culture of the ICU, as they relate to the ABCDEF Bundle.

As a result, I’ve been faced with having to compare my ingrained understanding of early mobility to the cultural “norms” I see at the bedside, as well as in the literature.

One of the key differences between these two perspectives, which I’ve been confronted with, is the timing and focus (or lack thereof) on early mobility in the ICU.

This contrast is captured in the comparison between prehab vs. rehab, and the debate about which approach should be prioritized in the ICU.

Prehab vs. Rehab: What’s the Difference?

If you want to understand the difference between prehab vs. rehab and learn which approach should be prioritized in the ICU, you’ve got to know what each one entails.

That being said, let’s explore the difference between prehabilitation and rehabilitation.

What Is Rehabilitation?

The Oxford Dictionary defines rehabilitation as “the action of restoring someone to health or normal life through training and therapy after illness.”

In the context of the ICU, the literature usually states that “Early rehabilitation is essential to reducing complications associated with PICS. ‘Early’ refers to rehabilitation interventions that commence immediately after stabilization of physiologic derangements, often while patients remain on mechanical ventilation and vasopressor infusions.”

And after years of attending conferences, visiting with dozens of ICU teams across the U.S., and reviewing their data and protocols, it is clear to me that rehabilitation in the ICU is perceived as the inevitable need for intensive physical recovery after mandatory and standard prolonged bed rest in the ICU.

But what we see in studies published within the last 6-8 years is that the “intensive rehabilitation” intervention groups did not even have patients sitting at the side of the bed until 8 or 9 days after intubation.

Even the recent TEAM study did not sit patients up at the side of the bed until 4-6 days after intubation following prolonged sedation at a median RASS of -3.

Yet the TEAM study is being hailed as the model of “ICU rehabilitation” and is considered an earlier and more aggressive level of rehabilitation than what you’ll find in most ICUs in the U.S.

What I’ve witnessed is that although many hospital protocols will allow for mobility to occur during critical illness, and while patients are on vasopressors, etc., it is not actually occurring in practice.

The approach shared by most of the ICU community is that mobility will happen when ventilator settings are minimal, when the patient follows commands, after extubation, after the tracheostomy, after vasopressors are discontinued, etc.

It seems as long as physical or occupational therapy consultation orders are entered before the patient transfers from the ICU, early mobility is checked off of the list as done.

But when you consider that on average, critically ill patients lose nearly 2% of skeletal muscle per day during their first week in the ICU, it’s clear that delaying mobility can lead to devastating consequences.

These consequences, including the loss of physical and cognitive function, result in a desperate need for ICU rehabilitation.

As a result, ICU rehab tends to be implemented as the recovery from delirium and ICU-acquired weakness on the back end of critical illness.

But what if we focused more on preventing delirium and ICU-acquired weakness?

What Is Prehabilitation?

Prehabilitation is defined as a process of improving the functional capability of a patient before a procedure or treatment so they’re able to withstand any inactivity and associated decline.

That being said, most patients do not anticipate sudden critical illness, so how does prehabilitation apply in the ICU?

In 2002, Robert Topp defined prehabilitation in the ICU as “The process of enhancing functional capacity of the individual to enable them to withstand the stressor of inactivity associated with an admission to ICU.”

A prehabilitative approach in the ICU respects the fact that patients arrive at the ICU with risk factors for delirium and ICU-acquired weakness and may have a long and complicated hospital stay ahead of them.

At this point, their physical, cognitive, and psychological function are already in peril and require proactive intervention focused on the preservation of functional capacities.

This leads ICU teams to promptly implement interventions to prevent delirium and ICU-acquired weakness, such as nutrition, early mobility, sleep hygiene, and family engagement.

For most patients, prioritizing prevention rather than recovery can drastically change the outcomes they experience.

For instance, the timing of early mobility impacts short and long-term outcomes for patients in the ICU.

A recent study showed that when early mobility happens within 72 hours of ICU admission there is a positive impact on post-ICU syndrome, but these benefits are limited if early mobility is initiated after 72 hours have passed.

Another study revealed that mobilizing patients within less than 72 hours after intubation led to a 24% improvement in return to functional baseline and a two-day decrease in delirium and time on the ventilator.

We also know that mobilizing patients within 48 hours after intubation improves cognitive function by 20% one year after discharge.

Prehabilitation in Practice

For the first eight years of my career, I was unfamiliar with the term ICU rehabilitation.

All I knew was that physical and occupational therapy are a standard part of care with the same priority as antibiotics, vasopressors, and AM labs. Walking my intubated patients on the night shift was just as optional as their bed bath.

The word rehabilitation usually only came up on the rare occasion when we were disappointed that we were sending a patient to a care facility instead of back home.

Our shared goal was to have patients walk out of the doors and avoid extensive rehab.

But when I started working in an Awake and Walking ICU, our patients were mobilized within 12 hours after intubation unless there was a contraindication to mobilization.

The decisions of whether or not to start sedation, what type of sedation to use, and whether or not to mobilize patients were esteemed as a “clinical priority on a par with early resuscitation, early sepsis management, and a lung-protective strategy.”

When the teams I train adapt this prehabilitative approach, they immediately notice the contrast in patient outcomes and workload.

What’s more, they enjoy being able to protect patients from the occurrence and severity of ICU delirium and ICU-acquired weakness, rather than having to rehabilitate patients after these complications have developed.

I trained Andrea Silva’s team in Denver, Colorado about a year ago, and they have transformed their process of care from a back-end rehabilitation approach to a front-end prehabilitation approach.

Here’s what she had to say about it:

“Prehabilitating patients in the ICU not only decreases length of stay, but it also reduces vent days and prevents delirium. There is a sense of nursing satisfaction and fulfillment when you see your patients thrive and walk out of the ICU.

“The morale around the unit has had a positive shift by seeing our patients succeed. We used to rehabilitate patients in the ICU by doing mobility after extubation, but our delirium rates were high, everyone had tracheostomies and PEG tubes, and they were waiting for placement in care facilities. Now patients are walking home from the ICU.”

So, what if prehabilitation becomes the norm?

What if it took 2-3 clinicians to walk an intubated patient down the hall rather than 3-5 people to sit a patient at the side of the bed?

What if we reduced delirium rates from where they are now, at 60-80%, and turned delirium into something that rarely occurs in the ICU?

What if we were able to enjoy calm, cooperative, and functional patients?

What if we shifted our focus to proactive instead of reactive?

And what if our efforts were dedicated to protection rather than recovery from delirium and ICU-acquired weakness?

If we were to do all of these things, I can only imagine how many lives would be saved and preserved, and the effect this could have on generations of ICU patients and clinicians to come.

If you and your team are ready to master the ABCDEF Bundle and create an Awake and Walking ICU, please don’t hesitate to sign up for a free consultation.
