Reflection/Analysis:

The rehabilitation of the patient requires a lot of attention for his mental and physical state, so in order to help the patient fully it’s crucial to understand what kind of symptoms he/she has and how to accommodate and avoid any kind of further disturbance or injury for the patient.
