I don't see anything positive about the word
'rehabilitation'. It would seem that a person's
impairment was deemed a sin or crime.
How can a person who has an impairment or condition from
birth or early childhood be rehabilitated?
I have, however, no objections to physical exercises tailored to meet the individual's need, as an
improvement towards good health.
I hope that the above helps with your research.

Most of what I know about the 'effectiveness' of rehabilitation comes from studies demonstrating improvements in functional ability, or using QOL measures - usually studies carried out by medical / rehabilitation staff. The literature I access easily probably sits very firmly in the medical model. Where can I go to get a 'user's perpective'?
