182 Chapter 7 Epilogue: the case of my grandfather In the general introduction of this thesis, the case of my grandfather was introduced. My grandfather rehabilitated before the concept of a challenging rehabilitation environment existed. His treatment was mainly monodisciplinary and besides his therapy moments, he had relatively small challenges and exercises. Nevertheless, after ten weeks he was able to walk without a walking aid and independent in his activities of daily living. But he didn’t cycle again and felt less confident walking on uneven paths. With the current knowledge, I suggest that he may have achieved better rehabilitation results if his rehabilitation had taken place within a CRE. Would he have achieved a higher therapeutic intensity and felt more confident and even stepped on his bike again?
