Course Introduction
Rehabilitation Science explores the principles and practices of restoring function and improving quality of life for individuals with physical, cognitive, or emotional impairments. This course provides a comprehensive overview of the biological, psychological, and social foundations of rehabilitation, integrating concepts from anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, and behavioral science. Students examine assessment tools, intervention strategies, and evidence-based practices used within multidisciplinary rehabilitation teams. Emphasis is placed on client-centered care, adaptive technologies, and the ethical and cultural considerations essential to effective rehabilitation. The course prepares students for understanding contemporary challenges and innovations in the field, fostering skills to support individuals across diverse healthcare and community settings.
