In modern society, medical rehabilitation is an area of great interest, which is in constant development. Reasons for this are easy to understand, if we consider two aspects: increasing incidence of chronic diseases and injuries, and increased numerical elder population. Medicine of rehabilitation is a logical continuation, absolutely necessary to act therapeutically; because of this fact it is called “the third medicine”, a concept that emphasizes the close connection with preventive medicine (first medicine), and therapeutic medicine (second medicine). The ultimate goal of medical rehabilitation is to optimize quality of life by increasing functional independence. Medical rehabilitation, which aims to restore individual health, is one of the two complementary aspects of the concept of individual recovery. It also includes social and professional recovery, which aims to reintegrate the individual workplace, family and society.
