Description:
Rehabilitation is defined by The World Health Organization as ‘a set of interventions designed to optimize function’, with care often delivered by a multidisciplinary team. Children and adults with a tracheostomy often require access to rehabilitation to increase their independence along their tracheostomy journey. Understanding the core pillars of rehabilitation and the role of various health professions increases our knowledge of rehabilitation aims, tasks and outcomes. Optimizing rehabilitation aims to empower and increase wellbeing for people living with a tracheostomy.
