Chronic diseases are a major problem, whose importance is nowadays raising up. Up to 86% of deaths are directly related to chronic diseases in Europe as they represent large amount of total diseases, with a major impact on global health spending. Patients suffering from heterogeneous disabilities (such as Parkinson's disease, stroke, multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis) often show an interaction between the main disease and comorbidity and multimorbidity. Therefore, the complicate interaction between all these ailments must be faced following specific care pathways. Within the latter ones, pharmacological, physicall cognitive and other (surgical and non-surgical) treatments should be reconciled in order to produce a synergic effect to counteract patient's clinical problems. Finally, neuromotor rehabilitation medicine should not only be considered as a step following the acute phase but also as an effective tool of secondary and tertiary prevention aimed to avoid relapses and re-hospitalization as well as to improve patient's quality of life.
