Abstract
Palliative rehabilitation care as a part of palliative care integrates multiprofessional team approach and holistic model in management of palliative patients, including neurological in phases of chronic deteriorating or acute progressive conditions, enabling them to improve functioning, diminish structural impairments and reduce activity limitations and participation restrictions. The approach empowers patients in self-care in stages of diseases where an active treatment is no longer feasible, enabling their dignity to the end of life, as much as the nature of the condition allows. The role of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine specialist and the team may be of key importance in this process.
