Detailed Description
Background:

The global demographic landscape is shifting towards an aging population, coupled with a rise in chronic, non-communicable diseases that contribute to disability and escalating healthcare costs. Recognizing this, the World Health Organization (WHO) has identified rehabilitation as a key strategy for health in the 21st century.

Aim:

The aim of this prospective cohort study is to assess the outcomes of d...
