[Current view of rehabilitation].
The study selects some changing and developing aspects of the contemporary considerations of rehabilitation and relates them closely to neurological rehabilitation. Functional diagnostics aims at the assessment of impairments and functioning. Several internationally recognized methods of neurological rehabilitation have already been adapted in Hungary. Author emphasises the use of International classification of functioning, disability and health, officially accepted by the Assembly of the World Health Organization in 2001. Its use for functional diagnostics is also possible. The everyday practice of teamwork is still problematic. Its implementation in rehabilitation is inevitable. The neurological rehabilitation is a special field where the cooperation of many teammembers is needed. The attitude to human beings in rehabilitation is different from medicine at large. It considers man not only as biological but also as social beings with own life history, thus helping to achieve compliance and increasing autonomy. The author mentions the possibility for the cooperation with organizers of the independent living movement. The separation of quality of life and health status assessments is suggested. Attention is called to the requirements of the adaptation of assessment methods and an initial account of own experiences is given.
