Physiatrists may find this a daunting task because severely disabled patients requiring hospitalization for acute rehabilitation frequently suffer from many comorbidities. Most of these arise from the multiple-organ-system complications of prolonged immobility. Additionally, physiatrists are increasingly under pressure to decrease readmission rates to the acute care hospital.
