The rehabilitation of a 19-year-old male with a congenital ventricular septal defect who suffered a haemorrhagic stroke from a ruptured mycotic aneurysm, secondary to infective endocarditis is described in this case study. This case study illustrates the application of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) model, and
Kawa model in the structuring of a holistic, interdisciplinary team management. Application of both models provide clear communication within the interdisciplinary team and aids the team to understand the contextual factors in the interaction of the patient's rehabilitation journey.
