In the field of medicine, restitution refers to the process where the body returns to its normal state after an illness or injury. This can involve the healing of wounds, the recovery of lost function, or the restoration of health.
For example, in cardiology, after a heart attack, the process of restitution involves the healing of the damaged heart tissue and the restoration of normal heart function. In neurology, restitution can refer to the recovery of brain function after a stroke or traumatic brain injury.
