Rehabilitation hospitals, also referred to as
inpatient rehabilitation hospitals, are devoted to the rehabilitation of patients with various
neurological, musculo-skeletal,
orthopedic and other medical conditions following stabilization of their acute medical issues. The industry is largely made up by independent
hospitals that operate these facilities within acute care hospitals. There are also inpatient rehabilitation hospitals that offer this service in a hospital-like setting, but separate from acute care facilities. Most inpatient rehabilitation facilities are located within hospitals. .
