Describes the development of rehabilitation medicine from its inception in World War I and World War II through its expansion during the 1980s, as stimulated by the Medicare program. The book describes how the field developed in response to the need for care and rehabilitation of wounded soldiers, disabled veterans, and members of the workforce in the 1940s and 1950s. The book ends with the enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which embodied the vision and goals of rehabilitative medicine since the 1960s.--From publisher's description.
