On autonomy and participation in rehabilitation: a response.

Cardol, M., Jong, B.A. de, Ward, C.D. On autonomy and participation in rehabilitation: a response. Disability and Rehabilitation: 2002, 24(18), p. 1001-1004. Reactie op commentaren van het artikel.
We are glad that our paper has stimulated what we believe is a necessary debate. Concepts and practices have been evolving rapidly, as Smith1 demonstrates. We accept that little of what we have said is entirely new. The concept of autonomy has an ancient pedigree but, as the commentaries suggest, its application in rehabilitation medicine raises theoretical and practical issues which future work must explore.
