Foreword
Many clinicians in practice today will remember their first Oxford Handbook.
The familiar cover and easily accessible layout was ground-breaking in its
day, providing valuable clinical information in emergencies before the elec-
tronic resources that we take for granted today existed. Many of us learnt
our medicine from carrying it about in a white-coat pocket where it could
be accessed soon after seeing a patient. My abiding memory of my own first
handbook is the exhortation in the early chapters ‘not to blame the sick for
being sick’. This is a very powerful concept that resonated with me deeply
and confirmed my choice of career in rehabilitation medicine where we can
do so much with medical interventions to alleviate the impact of disabling
conditions and where the cause of the disability cannot be cured. Over
the years, the Oxford Handbook stable has increased, encompassing many
clinical areas, and I was delighted when the first edition of the rehabilitation
medicine handbook was published.
Rehabilitation is an educational and problem-solving clinical interven-
tion that aims to reduce the impact of disabling conditions on people’s
functioning. This is achieved through three main strategies—restoration
of the function of impaired structures, reorganization of impaired path-
ways to deliver improved abilities, and reducing the discrepancy be-
tween the limited ability of disabled people and the demands of their
environment.
Manoj, Margaret, Ian, and Melissa in editing this handbook have
brought together a distinguished group of contributors who compre-
hensively cover the widest possible syllabus of topics in rehabilitation
medicine—the medical management of disabling conditions. The topics
included in the handbook encompass a broader spectrum of conditions
than most of the rehabilitation medicine curricula across Europe and
North America, providing an invaluable insight into the rehabilitation of
these conditions.
Rehabilitation starts with a thorough understanding of the impact of the
condition on people and their families. The early chapters of the handbook
in Section 1 take us through the inclusive evaluation of the needs of the
person with a disability. Each topic-specific chapter includes further infor-
mation on assessment in that clinical area. The chapters in Section 2 provide
valuable overviews of the management strategies of specific impairments
that cut across a range of disabling conditions. The condition-specific chap-
ters provide a succinct, yet comprehensive, overview of the impact of each
diagnosis on the person and how to limit its impact.

4 Chapter 1 Concepts of rehabilitation
Introduction
There is a lot of variation in what people understand by ‘rehabilitation’. This
is probably due to the perspective they are coming from and the system
or setting in which rehabilitation might occur. The origins of the word are
thought to be from the Latin noun ‘habilitas’, meaning ability, skill, or apti-
tude, adjective ‘habilis’ meaning skilful, capable, and verb ‘habilitare’, meaning
to enable. This chapter focuses on the concepts behind rehabilitation and
rehabilitation medicine, and how these concepts are operationalized.
In healthcare, rehabilitation has been defined as ‘a general health strategy
with the aim of enabling persons with health conditions experiencing, or
likely to experience, disability to achieve and maintain optimal functioning’1.
This means that an understanding of the concepts of disability and of op-
timal functioning are central to understanding the concept of rehabilitation,
and are described later in this chapter. In addition, several models of dis-
ability exist and will also be described. ‘Optimal functioning’ is a less well-
defined phrase—for the purposes of this handbook, it is taken to mean not
just a utilitarian concept of functioning but an engagement of the individual
in life in an autonomous way. Importantly, this differentiates a person’s
ability to perform activities useful to self or society from their ability to
meaningfully engage in life in their chosen way. This difference can become
crucially important in those who have lost physical and cognitive abilities.
The World Health Organization (WHO) International Classification of
Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), described later in this chapter, a
concept that serves as a theoretical underpinning for rehabilitation, makes
this apparent through the description of ‘participation’.
Rehabilitation, specialist rehabilitation, and rehabilitation medicine are dif-
ferent, but related, concepts that are relevant to the content of this hand-
book. Rehabilitation, as an overall term, covers aspects of healthcare that
any healthcare practitioner can and should engage in, as it leads to interven-
tion being made with a purpose in mind that includes optimal functioning in
its widest sense, and not just the management of a specific impairment. For
example, it is the difference between optimum control of a person’s asthma
enabling them to work and participate in sport, rather than merely maxi-
mizing peak flow readings. Specialist rehabilitation often describes a more
complex situation, where multiple factors impact rehabilitation across sim-
ultaneous and diverse rehabilitation goals. Of necessity, this ‘complex’ re-
habilitation requires different healthcare professionals working as a team to
achieve optimum outcomes. Rehabilitation medicine describes the medical
specialty driven by this more sophisticated rehabilitation philosophy, rather
than using an organ-based, medical model. Rehabilitation medicine works
across the whole spectrum, from specialist rehabilitation through to having
a basic rehabilitation role and possibly an educational role in enabling any
type of rehabilitation to occur. Rehabilitation medicine has similarities to
specialities which cover a specific phase of life or disease trajectory, such
as palliative care, but differs in that rehabilitation can be part of condition
management at any time.
Models of disability 5
Models of disability
Traditional biomedical model
The biomedical model of disability is focused on pathology and impair-
ment. It assumes several unhelpful notions about the nature of disability
(Box 1.1).2
The philosophy of Western medicine has traditionally been to treat and
to cure, but in rehabilitation these outcomes are unlikely and the aim has
often been to ‘normalize’. This philosophy was reinforced by the initial
WHO classification that produced a distinction between impairment, dis-
ability, and handicap. The biomedical model of disability usually implies that
the physician takes a leading role in the entire rehabilitation process—being
team leader, organizing programmes of care, and generally directing the
delivery of services for the person with disabilities. The doctor/patient re-
lationship was the senior relationship in the medical model. Rehabilitation
was born around the time of the First World War when there was a strong
philosophy of the doctor telling injured servicemen how to behave, how to
get better, and how to get back as quickly as possible to active duty. Such a
model may have been appropriate in that cultural context but not in wider
society today.
Social model of disability
The social model of disability understands disability as secondary to the so-
cial, legislative, and attitudinal environment in which the person lives and not
any underlying medical condition. Although a person’s abilities may be dif-
ferent, the disability is because society either actively discriminates against
the person with a disability or it fails to account for their different needs.
The key features of the social model are listed in Box 1.2.2
Biopsychosocial model of disability
The biopsychosocial model of disability is an attempt to account for both
the social and biomedical models of disability. The WHO ICF3 uses the
biopsychosocial model. There is controversy over this approach, and some
who use the social model of disability disagree with approaches that include

The large irregular nebulae described in the last chapter are all
more or less mingled with stars, at least in appearance, and it has
been suggested that they are star-clusters in process of formation,
with larger and brighter masses of filmy nebulosity all about them
than at later stages, for long-exposure photographs reveal some
exceedingly faint nebulosities surrounding Kappa Crucis and the
Pleiades and other fully-developed star-clusters. But this can only be
a guess until we know more about the nature of nebulae. In some
regions of the sky we find vast spaces thinly veiled by nebulosity so
faint and transparent that it seems to have reached the very limit at
which matter can exist and be recognised as such. Thus in the
constellation of Orion nearly all the bright stars are connected
together by the vast convolutions of an exceedingly faint diffused
nebula in spiral form, the innermost curve of which ends in the Great
Nebula of the Sword, and the whole region within is filled with faint
light.
Quite distinct from these nebulae are others of perfectly regular
form, very small, purely gaseous, without intermingling of any stars,
but usually with one bright star-like nucleus at the centre. One form
is the ring nebula, of which much the best known is that in the
northern constellation of the Lyre. There are, however, some in the
south. In a large telescope they appear like little golden wedding-
rings against the dark sky background.
Another regular form is the “planetary nebula,” so called because
they look much like planets in large telescopes, being perfectly round
or oval with a sharply-defined edge, and in several cases there are
handle-like appendages, which may possibly be encircling rings, like
the rings of Saturn. These nebulae shine with a peculiar bluish-green
light, the colour of the unknown gas nebulium, of which they are
chiefly composed. In Hydra, south of the star Mu, is one of the
brightest and largest, known as H 27—that is, No. 27 on William
Herschel’s list. It is elliptical and of a lovely bluish colour, with a
bright nucleus exactly in the centre.
By means of these sharply-defined central nuclei it has been
found possible to measure the approaching or receding movements
of these nebulae, and although the one just mentioned is receding
from us with a speed of only 3½ miles a second, their average speed
is high, amounting to 40 or 50 miles a second. One in Sagittarius is
receding at more than 80 miles a second, and another in Lupus
attains a speed of over a hundred.
These are movements comparable with those of stars, but the
average is higher than even for the most rapidly moving class of
stars, the red-solar and Antarians. May we, then, place the planetary
nebulae at the end of our star-series, since we saw that from the
blue down to the red the average movements became faster and
faster, and may we believe that all stars eventually become gaseous
nebulae, as “new stars” seem to do? But we saw that in spectrum
these nebulae rather resemble the stars at the other end of the
series, the Wolf-Rayet, which lead directly to the hottest and
brightest of all, the Orion stars. Planetary nebulae also resemble
Wolf-Rayet, Orion, and Sirian stars, and differ from solar and red
stars in that they cluster near the Milky Way, and are scarcely ever
found far from it. Their place in the universe cannot be established
yet.
One more kind of nebula, the most numerous of all, remains to
be mentioned, the so-called “white nebulae,” which do not glow
green like many of the brighter planetaries, but shine with a white
light and have more or less star-like spectra, although not even the
most powerful telescopes can resolve the white cloudiness into
stars. The typical nebula of this class is the famous Andromeda
Nebula, visible to the naked eye in northern skies as a large oval
spot shining softly “like a candle shining through horn.” Photography
first disclosed the remarkable fact that it has the form of a great,
closely-wound spiral, and further research has shown that by far the
greater number of “white nebulae” have this form. There is a very
fine one in Aquarius,[12] which has been known since 1824, but
visual observations gave absolutely no idea of its true form. A
photograph exposed for four hours in September 1912 showed it
clearly as about two turns of a great spiral.
The distribution of this kind of nebula is quite different from that of
the gaseous nebulae, for, instead of clustering towards the Milky
Way, they avoid it, and especially the brightest region, where we saw
that the others most abound, viz. in Scorpio, Sagittarius, and
Ophiuchus. On the contrary, the largest number of these is found
near the north pole of the Galaxy—that is, as far removed from it as
possible, in Virgo. There is, however, no corresponding group about
the south pole of the Galaxy.
One investigator has found the distance of the Andromeda
Nebula to be twenty light-years, but the distance and the movements
of this type are difficult to discover. They are evidently very different
from the others, and quite as mysterious.

THE CLOUDS OF MAGELLAN
Like a great river returning into itself, the Galaxy encircles the
starry heavens, and those who know only its northern course have
no idea of its brilliance and wonderful complexity in its brightest part.
Its light is soft, milky, and almost uniform, between Cygnus and
Sirius, but when it enters Argo it becomes extremely broad, and
spreads out like a river on a flat marshy plain, in many twisting
channels with spaces between. Where Canopus shines on the bank
there is a narrow winding ford right across its whole breadth, as if a
path had been made by the crossing of a star.
After this it suddenly becomes extremely narrow, but so bright
that all the light which was shining in the broad channel seems to be
condensed in this narrow bed. In the brightest, richest part the Great
Nebula of Argo is easily distinguished by the naked eye. Contrasting
with this and other bright condensations are black gaps, the largest
and blackest of which is the well-known Coal-Sack near the
Southern Cross.

AND ARA

The river now divides. One short stream, which goes north from
Centaur towards Antares, is faint and soon lost; but another northern
stream is so bright and so persistent that from Centaur to Cygnus we
may say that the Galaxy flows in a double current. This northern
portion forms first the smoke of the Altar on which the Centaur is
about to offer the Beast, then passes through the Scorpion into the
Serpent-Holder, and here, between η Ophiuchi and Corona Australis,
the double stream has its greatest width. The northern division soon
grows dim and seems to die out, but begins again near β Ophiuchi,
and, curving through a little group of stars, passes through the head
of the Eagle and forms an oval lagoon in the Swan.
The southern stream passes through the Scorpion’s Tail into
Sagittarius, then through the Eagle and the Arrow till it flows close
beside the northern stream in the Swan, and finally rejoins it in a
bright patch round α Cygni. Except just here it is much brighter than
the northern stream, and its structure is even fuller of wonderful
detail than in Argo. In Sagittarius it consists of great rounded patches
with dark spaces between. The brightest of these contains the star γ
Sagittarii; then follows a remarkable region of small patches and
streaks, the portion passing through Sagittarius and Aquila being
thickly studded with nebulae. This is followed by another bright
patch, rivalling that round γ Sagittarii, which involves the stars λ and
6 Aquilae.
This ends the most brilliant and wonderful part of the Milky Way.
When well seen, as we see it in the south, it recalls Herschel’s
words, written at the Cape when it came into view in his telescope:
“The real Milky Way is just come on in great semi-nebulous
masses, running into one another, heaps on heaps.” And again: “The
Milky Way is like sand, not strewed evenly as with a sieve, but as if
flung down by handfuls, and both hands at once.”
What is it? The ancients thought it the pathway of departed
spirits, or fiery exhalations from the earth imprisoned in the skies, or
a former road of the sun through the stars. But Democritus and some
other inquiring Greeks believed it to be the shining of multitudes of
stars too faint and too close together to be seen separately, and we
know this to be the truth. We know also, from simply counting the
stars in different regions of the sky, that their numbers increase
regularly as we go from north or south towards the Milky Way, and
stars of all magnitudes are most abundant within its course. We saw
also that star-clusters and certain kinds of nebulae frequent it, while
other kinds avoid it, and that blue and white stars are the most
abundant near it, and tend to move through space in planes parallel
with it, while the redder stars are scattered and move about in all
directions.
Facts like these lead astronomers to believe that the Milky Way
has a definite relation with all the visible universe, that even the most
distant nebula is not an outlying universe apart from ours, but all are
parts of one vast stellar system.
It is possible that the Milky Way, which we see as a great circle,
double in one part, is really an immense spiral, and that we are
nearest one curve of it, the great southern division which looks so
bright. It may be that the spiral nebulae, vast though they are in
terms of earthly measurement, are tiny models of one tremendous
spiral which enfolds the universe with its coils.
