Abstract
Ideally, rehabilitation should begin early in the continuum of trauma care. Rehabilitative issues include avoiding preventable problems such as decubiti, deep venous thrombosis, and contractures. Thus, there can be rehabilitative issues addressed by emergency medical technicians, emergency room physicians and nurses, transporters to and from radiology, and nurses and physicians in the intensive care unit and later on the hospital floor. Rehabilitation is most effective when started early—not waiting until the patient is in a “rehabilitation center.”
