According to the concept of the World Health Organization, medicine is a natural science that is composed of preventive medicine, health care medicine, therapeutic medicine and rehabilitation medicine. "Rehabilitation medicine is an important part of medical services," said Bi Sheng, director of the Rehabilitation Medical Center of the General Hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (301 Hospital).

In April 2009, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council pointed out in the Opinions on Deepening the Reform of the Medical and Health System that "we should adhere to overall planning and pay attention to the combination of prevention, treatment and rehabilitation" and "the service functions of the new urban medical and health service system, including the provision of chronic disease management and rehabilitation services". The national "12th Five-Year Plan" also clearly proposes to accelerate the construction of rehabilitation projects in public hospitals, community service organizations and private capital institutions. These are undoubtedly positive policy factors for promoting the development of rehabilitation medicine.

"Modern rehabilitation medicine has developed rapidly for nearly half a century. Its development is the inevitable trend of human medical development and the result of the progress of modern science and technology." Bi Sheng said that rehabilitation medicine is a medical discipline that aims to eliminate and reduce human dysfunction, make up for and reconstruct human functional deficiencies, and try to improve and improve human functions in all aspects, that is, the prevention, diagnosis, evaluation The medical discipline of treatment, training and treatment.

In the process of treatment and training, patients will inevitably be exposed to the help of rehabilitation medical devices. "Tractors, orthopedics, electrical, magnetic and ultrasonic instruments are commonly used in clinical rehabilitation," said Bi Sheng.

In addition to large hospitals, China's urban community health service network has gradually improved. Community health service institutions can provide community public health services and basic medical services. More and more elderly, disabled, and chronic patients can be treated and nursed at home. Rehabilitation medicine is not limited to hospitals. "But in fact, the current community medical service institutions are generally faced with backward equipment, which is a huge potential market," Chen Yawei said.
