[1] The Clinical Rehabilitation Sciences study how to provide best care with the goal of enabling people with health conditions experiencing or likely to experience disability to achieve and maintain optimal functioning in interaction with their immediate environment. It contains clinical research on best care including guidelines and standards, organization and quality management, coordination as well as education and training of professionals in rehabilitation, evaluation of the rehabilitation team and multidisciplinary care.

[2] The biosciences in rehabilitation are basic sciences which aim to explain body injury, adaptation and repair from the molecular to the cellular, organ system and organism level; and to identify targets for biomedical interventions to improve body functions and structures.

[3] The biomedical rehabilitation sciences and engineering are applied sciences which study diagnostic measures and interventions including physical modalities suitable to minimize impairment, control symptoms and to optimize people’s capacity.

[4] The integrative rehabilitation sciences design and study rehabilitation systems, services, comprehensive assessments and intervention programs which integrate biomedical, personal factor and environmental approaches suited to optimize people’s performance.

[5] The human functioning sciences are basic sciences from the comprehensive perspective which aim to understand human functioning and to identify targets for comprehensive interventions.
