title: [Trends in Medical Rehabilitation : Supply Structure and Target Groups].
abstract: Medical rehabilitation in Germany has been changing continuously since its inception following the Bismarck Legislation. This article describes its development in past years and discusses quantitative and qualitative changes. Central quantitative changes are discussed using the examples of rehabilitation utilisation, spectrum of diseases, setting and follow-up rehabilitation. Important qualitative changes in medical rehabilitation pertain to multiple morbidities, the emphasis on work-related problems in rehabilitative concepts and their implementation, more flexible forms of rehabilitation, prevention, rehabilitation for people from other countries, mobile rehabilitation and rehabilitation after-care (also with new media). The article ends with an outlook on future developments within legislation, access to rehabilitation and the budget for rehabilitation, in addition to cooperation with the workplace.
