A As people with neurological conditions are discharged from in- and out-patient care with persisting motor deficits, and others develop neurological conditions that do not require acute care, the number of people seeking long-term motor rehabilitation supports accumulates. B Main health care providers of motor rehabilitation during in- and out-patient rehabilitation. Arrows indicate that physiatrists often refer individuals to physical and occupational therapy (PT/OT). Contact with these health care providers is frequent in these stages. C Proposed integration of kinesiologists into long-term motor rehabilitation. PTs and OTs may refer clients to kinesiologists that provide more frequent contact than is typical for physiatrists/PTs/OTs in this stage. Kinesiologists may deliver services at community centres, clinics, or in-home with support from other health care providers. ADLs, activities of daily living
