Objective Describing rehabilitation services in a standardized way is a challenge. The International Classification of Service Organizations in Rehabilitation (ICSO-R) 2.0 was published for this purpose. The ICSO-R was criticized for being tested mainly in high-income countries, and because the testing in lower-income countries did not include community-based rehabilitation services. Therefore, this study was performed to describe community-based rehabilitation services by using ICSO-R 2.0. Methods The ICSO-R 2.0 was used to describe 8 community-based rehabilitation services located in 3 cities in 3 different provinces in Indonesia: 6 community-based rehabilitation services in Bandung, West Java; 1 in Tanah Datar, West Sumatra; and 1 in Gowa, South Sulawesi. Results All the community-based rehabilitation services were owned by the government, as a public body, and in the context of the community. The 6 community-based rehabilitation services in Bandung, West Java, are under the government city of Bandung, while the other 2, from Tanah Datar and Gowa, are integrated within primary healthcare centres. Social welfare supports all 6 community-based rehabilitation services in Bandung. The other 2 community-based rehabilitation services are supported by their respective primary healthcare centres. Conclusion The ICSO-R 2.0 is a feasible tool to describe rehabilitation services, including community-based rehabilitation. LAY ABSTRACT The International Classification of Service Organizations in Rehabilitation (ICSO-R) 2.0 was published as a framework to support describing rehabilitation service organizations. The process of development of the ICSO-R did not include Community-Based Rehabilitation Services. Therefore, to rectify this, ICSO-R 2.0 was used for this study. Eight community-based rehabilitation services were surveyed, located in 3 cities in Indonesia; namely Bandung, Tanah Datar, and Gowa. This study found that ICSO-R 2.0 can be used to describe rehabilitation services not only in hospitals, but also in the community.

TAI CHI AS A MODALITY FOR STROKE REHABILITATIONABSTRACTTai Chi is a Chinese traditional mind-body exercise and is well known for its slow and graceful movements. Tai Chi has been practiced for centuries and has become a popular exercise worldwide in recent years. Tai Chi is beneficial to cardiorespiratory function, muscular strength, balance, flexibility, microcirculation, psychological profile and quality of life. Tai Chi can be prescribed as an alternative exercise programme for selected patients with cardiovascular, orthopaedic, or neurological diseases.
