Secondary prevention

• A. Decrease risk in healthy population
• B. Facilitate healing and restore movement, focus on early detection
• C. Use of assistive devices to manage impairment
• D. Vaccinations to prevent disease

Answer: (B)

Secondary prevention focuses on detecting disease early and taking steps to prevent its progression and reduce disability. In rehabilitation and health care, this means screening and prompt intervention after a condition appears to help restore function and minimize harm. The option that combines early detection with actions to facilitate healing and restore movement fits this aim best, since catching issues early allows timely treatment and supports recovery of function. The other ideas describe either preventing disease from occurring in healthy people (primary prevention, such as vaccinations) or managing impairment after it has developed (which is more about ongoing rehabilitation than catching disease early to prevent progression).
