Against there is little evidence of physical access to rehabilitation facilities in Tehran. This study is aimed to assess the physical access to physical rehabilitation facilities in Tehran and compare it with the country.

RESULTS: The results showed that rehabilitation facilities existed at different levels, including inpatient (10.51), outpatient (224.28), community based (36.72), and long-term care (4.96)/1,000,000 populations. Rehabilitation services are provided by rehabilitation professional including: Physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists (8.7), physiotherapists (132.89), occupational therapists (57.4), speech therapists (42.11), and audiologists (48.84) (in 1,000,000 populations).
