Overview

This study compared inpatient rehabilitation with standard medical care for adults with new disabling conditions. No significant differences were found in functional ability, healthcare use, survival, or other outcomes at six months or one year after hospitalization. Rehabilitation was also more expensive. While some previous studies found benefits in functional ability, this study did not, possibly due to the use of a more diverse group of patients with various conditions. The study suggests that healthcare systems should assess the benefits of subacute rehabilitation and consider home-based outpatient programs.
