It is the goal of this paper to show which innovations the use of speech recognition has introduced in the field of rehabilitation and which relevance these innovations have for the people undergoing rehabilitation. A possible rehabilitation course will be followed and the use of speech recognition at each stage will be examined. References will also be made to the obstacles of obtaining/financing a speech recognition system, an obstacle still in the way of large-scale implementations of such systems.
