title: [The rehabilitation cares at the lepers].
abstract: Leprosy elimination (<1/100 000) is almost reached all around the world, although, but disabled people are still a lot, and they need rehabilitation as soon as possible. The different lesions (neurological, dermatologic and joint) must be treated in order to protect from handicap. Physical rehabilitation medicine can help with a global and polyvalent coverage. Therapeutic education and reinsertion are an important part.
