Rehabilitation can help in the management of diabetes. Clinical evidence shows that physical and occupational therapies can enhance strength, mobility, and overall function for people living with diabetes.
A personalized rehabilitation program can provide support in several ways, including:
• Improved mobility and blood sugar management. Regular physical activity helps the body use insulin more effectively and supports blood glucose control.
• Enhanced heart health. Exercise supports heart and vascular function, reducing the risk of diabetes-related heart disease.
• Maintained independence. Strength, balance, and functional training can make everyday activities easier and support better quality of life.
• Support of foot health. Education, targeted exercises, and regular foot care can improve circulation, balance, and wound healing, helping to prevent complications such as foot ulcers and infections.

Why would a physical therapist spend time helping patients practice something as basic as getting out of a chair, walking to the bathroom, or climbing a set of stairs?

Because those “little” things are often the skills that make independence possible.

At a medical rehabilitation hospital, physical therapists use functional and task-specific treatments to help patients improve their ability to perform everyday movements and activities. This can include getting in and out of a chair or bed, walking with an assistive device, navigating uneven surfaces, reaching items safely, climbing stairs, and more.

The activities are purposeful and tailored to each patient’s individual abilities and goals, helping them to develop the skills, strength, and endurance needed to complete daily activities. Practicing movements that translate to daily life allows individuals to regain function, independence, and quality of life.

For patients recovering from a disabling injury or illness at a medical rehabilitation hospital, medication management is an important part of coordinated care that supports recovery and independence so patients can transition home safely.

Pharmacists are key members of the hospital’s interdisciplinary healthcare team, working alongside physicians, nurses, therapists, and other healthcare professionals to ensure that medications are appropriate, effective, and used safely.

As part of the care team, pharmacists may review medication orders for appropriate drug selection, dosage, potential interactions, allergies, and other safety considerations. Because medications can change during a hospital stay, pharmacists may also compare medication lists, identify discrepancies, and communicate necessary changes to the team. This process, known as medication reconciliation, is an important part of medication safety during transitions of care.

Pharmacists may also monitor patients’ responses to medications, identify potential adverse effects, and make informed medication decisions, which may include adjusting medication regimens to support participation in therapy sessions. As patients prepare for discharge, pharmacists can help explain medications so patients understand how to use them safely and effectively at home.

Regularly scheduled mammograms are vital for early detection of breast cancer, but understanding your individual risk involves more than screening alone. Evidence shows that breast cancer risk can be influenced by a combination of factors, including age, family history, lifestyle, genetics, and hormonal factors. While some of these risk factors can’t be changed, understanding them can help you make informed decisions about your health.
Key strategies for risk management include:
• Know your family history. Those with certain histories may benefit from genetic counseling, and when appropriate, genetic testing for inherited changes in genes such as BRCA1 and BRCA2.
• Maintain healthy lifestyle habits. Eating a balanced diet, getting regular physical activity, limiting alcohol, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding smoking may help lower breast cancer risk.
• Discuss hormonal factors with your healthcare provider, such as hormone replacement therapy, oral contraceptives, and other hormonal exposures.
• Follow recommended screening guidelines, which may depend on your age, personal and family history, and other risk factors.
• Know what’s normal for you. Be aware of changes in your breasts, such as a new lump, swelling, skin changes, ni**le changes, or unusual discharge. Share concerns with your healthcare provider.
Early detection can improve the chances of finding breast cancer earlier, while risk-reduction strategies can help lower the chance of developing breast cancer. Be sure to talk with your healthcare provider about tailoring screenings and preventive strategies to your individual risk.

Staying strong, steady, and mobile can make a meaningful difference in maintaining independence as we age. Physical therapy can support these goals by addressing strength, balance, endurance, mobility, and physical function.
In particular, physical therapy can improve balance and reduce fall risk. Fear of falling or having experienced a previous fall can affect confidence and participation in daily activities. Physical therapists can work with older adults to address factors associated with fall risk through treatments that focus on balance, muscle strength, flexibility, coordination, and endurance.
Physical therapy also can benefit older adults living with frailty, recovering from a stroke, or managing chronic conditions that affect movement and function. Treatments can be tailored to each person’s abilities and goals, and may be designed to improve physical function, manage pain, and make movements and activities easier and safer.
Maintaining strength and mobility is key to helping individuals continue to do things they enjoy most. Talk with your healthcare provider or a physical therapist to learn whether physical therapy may be appropriate for you or a loved one.

Rehabilitation following a spinal cord injury doesn’t necessarily end when someone leaves the hospital or completes an inpatient rehabilitation program. Recovery and rehabilitation can continue long after the initial injury, with the focus often shifting over time from intensive rehabilitation to maintaining function, preventing complications, adapting to changes, and working toward new goals.
The greatest amount of neurological recovery often occurs during the first year after a spinal cord injury, but improvements can continue beyond that time. Ongoing rehabilitation and physical activity can help people maintain strength and function, improve mobility, increase independence, and address changing needs over time.
After completing formal inpatient rehabilitation, individuals may continue their recovery. The type and amount of ongoing rehabilitation will vary from person to person. Factors that may influence an individual's rehabilitation plan include:
• Level and severity of the spinal cord injury
• Changes in strength, movement, and sensation
• Individual goals and priorities
• Functional needs for home, work, or in the community
• Access to rehabilitation and resources
• Changes in health and physical abilities over time
For some people, ongoing therapy may help them work toward new functional goals or address challenges that arise later in recovery. For others, rehabilitation may transition into an individualized exercise and activity routine focused on maintaining function and preventing complications.
Spinal cord injury recovery is not the same for everyone. Rehabilitation can evolve over time to meet changing needs, goals and abilities.
