The History of Rehabilitation –

History of Rehabilitation
• In the ancient world, people with disabilities were summarily excluded from
everyday life (Conti 2014)
• The notion that disabilities were punishments from the gods and deities
was widely accepted
• Disabilities were assumed to be the direct result of one’s moral failings,
sins, or acts against the gods
• People with disabilities were thus prescribed complete removal from
society

Rusk: The Foundation of Rehabilitation Medicine (1948)
Howard A. Rusk, MD – wounded and disabled servicemen were left to “simply lie around getting custodial care, with nothing to do, bored to distraction, helpless, hopeless, waiting for some kind of infection or disease to carry them off.”
14 Rusk Rehabilitation
Howard A. Rusk, MD – “Gradually the concept of rehabilitation came to me as I found out how much really could be done for these men. In the beginning, I knew only that everything possible should be done to return them to physical and mental health. This meant finding ways for them to function despite their disabilities.” 15 Rusk Rehabilitation

Howard A. Rusk
Horticulture at Rusk – The Garden of Enid – The Glass Garden 1959
“Hundreds of patients through the years have not only found joy and solace in the
program but many have gone on to follow careers in horticulture ….. Distressed
families have found peace in this atmosphere.”
“The idea has been copied throughout the entire country and has spread like wild
flower seeds scattered by kindly winds.”

History of Horticultural Therapy
• Ancient Egypt
21 Rusk Rehabilitation
Why is HT offered in the hospital environment?
• Patient satisfaction
• Decrease pain
• Decrease anxiety
• Decrease stress
• Improved sleep
• Best practice
22 Rusk Rehabilitation
What are the drawbacks of horticultural therapy?
• Need for space, light, soil, water can be a challenge in an urban environment
– Roof top gardens, green roofs, creative use of space
• Not reimbursed (in the US) by insurance
– Value Based Care, Triple Aim
• Dependent on grant funding
– Research
23 Rusk Rehabilitation
Why do you support HT for clients and patients?
• Personal experience
– Family
– Patient letters and photos
• Best rehabilitation is when the patients don’t realize it is rehabilitation
• Payment related to patient satisfaction
• It works!
• Need more research and QI studies

Project goal: The aim of this study
is to explore whether adding nature-based
elements in the hospital room may improve
the patient experience. Patient perceptions
of their room, pain control, quality of sleep,
quality of room, and quality of care will be
assessed.
