Abstract

Comprehensive and multidisciplinary rehabilitation is gaining momentum as a useful strategy that aims to improve physical, psychological, and social components of health in subjects affected by violence, trauma, and mental distress. Previous and current wars have prioritized essential diagnostic and rehabilitative services to civil subjects and military servicepersons which can be delivered by skilled physiatrists and allied specialists. Stratifying subjects in need of various rehabilitative procedures and offering them psychological support, balanced nutrition, musculoskeletal care, and socialisation in a safe and relaxing atmosphere may improve their mental and functional capacities and resolve numerous health issues. The choice of comprehensive rehabilitative procedures depends on their availability and understanding of complementary effects of various interventions.
