Broad Perspectives of Rehabilitation from Medical, Social, Educational and Historical Points of View

Wider perspectives of rehabilitation have been introduced, for medical, vocational, social, and educational areas. Nicolas Andry made the word of orthopedie for orthos (straight)+Paedios (child) and Clement Tissot wrote “Medical and Surgical Gymnastics” leading to rehabilitation. There are 3 aspects of vocational, social and educational rehabilitation. The root of the word “rehabilitation” includes habilis, which means handy, hands, skillful or making/using tools. Homo Habilis evolved to Homo Erectus, leading to Home Sapiens. Rehabilitation means historical restoration of honor, where the episodes of Jeanne d'Arc and Galileo Galilei are known. This article hopefully becomes references in medicine, history and literature.
