Therefore, whenever an event occurs that entails some limitation or disability, rehabilitation care plays a significant role, with the aim of maximising the potential for rebuilding autonomy \u2014 whether to recover the previous level of independence or to adapt the person to their new health condition. Thus, the <strong>Specialist Nurse in Rehabilitation Nursing<\/strong> creates, implements and monitors differentiated Rehabilitation Nursing plans, based on the real and potential problems of each individual. The level of knowledge and added experience allows decisions to be made regarding health promotion, prevention of secondary complications, treatment and rehabilitation, maximising the person&#8217;s potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/saudeemsuacasa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/page-2.jpeg\" alt=\"Professional rehabilitation therapist assisting patient with recovery exercises in home healthcare setting\" class=\"wp-image-4053\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saudeemsuacasa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/page-2.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/saudeemsuacasa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/page-2-610x366.jpeg 610w, https:\/\/saudeemsuacasa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/page-2-300x180.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/saudeemsuacasa.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/page-2-768x461.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The scope of intervention may include: Neurological conditions (e.g. stroke, \u2026); Respiratory conditions (e.g. lung diseases, \u2026); Cardiac conditions (e.g. heart diseases; post-cardiac surgery\u2026); Orthopaedic conditions (e.g. knee surgery, hip surgery, fractures\u2026); among other situations of impairment or disability, including elderly patients and those with oncological disease (e.g. muscle mass loss, disuse\u2026). To this end, specific rehabilitation techniques and technologies are employed to ensure the right to dignity and quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In summary, the Rehabilitation Nurse enables the body to recover itself through various non-invasive techniques.
