The intent of this article is to present a systematic overview of therapeutic recreation services at the seven state-operated Comprehensive Rehabilitation Centers. These seven Centers are located in Hot Springs, Arkansas; Warm Spring, Georgia; Thelma, Kentucky; Baltimore, Maryland; Johnstown, Pennsylvania; Institute, West Virginia; and Fisherville, Virginia. This paper is a result of a study which was conducted from October 1978 to May 1979. The study showed that each of the Centers provided recreation and leisure activities: however, none of the Centers utilized therapeutic recreation as the title of their specific department. In general, the Centers have difficulties in the following areas: 1. defining therapeutic recreation; 2. structuring their department; 3. delivery of therapeutic recreation services; 4. conception of therapeutic recreation as part of the rehabilitation process; 5. inadequately trained personnel in leadership and supervisory positions; 6. staff training; 7. assessment and evaluation instruments for clients; 8. discharge planning; and 9. recreation therapy as a treatment component within the delivery of therapeutic recreation services, All of which need resolution. The research demonstrated that most of the recreation directors saw a need for therapeutic recreation services to be refined further to meet the needs and abilities of the clients.

The relatively few number of articles available concerning the utility of physical exercise or physical sports activities within rehabilitation, according to a recent literature search, may reflect a general scarcity of such articles and/or programs. According to the 115 references located however, exercise appears potentially useful as a rehabilitation tool, in spite of various programmatic and methodological complications. It is apparent that all forms of exercise training are not suitable for all rehabilitation clients. However, based on the rehabilitation-related characteristics of the 15 different activities represented herein, there are certain forms of physical exercise which (1) are more congruent with normalization principles, (2) are more easily adapted to all disabilities, including the elderly, and (3) employ brief, high-intensity training principles, and therefore seem to be well suited for rehabilitation programming, in general. The anecdotal and empirical reports represented in this literature analysis should provide a base for continued investigation of the rehabilitative impact and relative efficiency of physical fitness/sports activities upon impaired individuals.

In assessing the contribution of anthropological investigation to health services, ethical review committees and health services personnel usually weigh the relationship between the risks to subjects from the research procedures and the benefits of the research results. While these reviews are important, attention should also focus on the benefits of the research process, itself. In rehabilitation settings, located at a Veterans Administration Medical Center, psychiatric-care facility, the anthropological research process benefits staff members and patients. Using the role of participant-observer, the anthropologist serves as an anonymous channel of communication and contributes to patient rehabilitation.
