inpatient rehabilitation

Live-in physical therapy

Inpatient rehabilitation is intensive medical treatment provided while a patient lives at a hospital or specialized facility.

It typically follows serious illness, surgery, or injury—stroke, spinal cord damage, joint replacement—when recovery requires daily therapy and round-the-clock care: She spent three weeks in inpatient rehabilitation after the accident.

Often shortened to inpatient rehab.
