In general, electrochemical methods are in competition with rehabilitation utilizing an overlay such as low-slump, high-performance, or latex-modified concrete. The deck condition is often the controlling factor in the selection of the rehabilitation method. In some instances, a combination of these methods is selected. For example, electrochemical removal of chloride followed by an overlay or an overlay in conjunction with CP to noitigate any further corrosion. 

Traditionally, more than 90% of the rehabilitation jobs used low water-to-cement ratio concrete or LMC overlay as the preferred method. The estimated lifetime of the rehabilitation methods is about 15 years (16). 

Electrical stimulation Diagnostic, therapeutic, and rehabilitational method used to excite motor nerves with the aim of contracting the appropriate muscles and obtain limb movement. 

Chapter 8 deals with how to select a rehabilitation method. It discusses the different techniques for repair covered in the previous chapters and the cost differentials. Chapter 9 reviews models for determining deterioration rates and service lives.

It is suggested that ROM exercises done earlier such as the use of CPM demonstrated improvement in the biomechanical behavior of in vitro tendons rupture. Hence, CPM might be a better rehabilitation method for patients recovering from Achilles tendon ruptures [3]. EHie to the several positive effects shown by previous research, it is applicable to provide CPM device in order to treat ankle joint stiffness among patients who undergo tibial distraction osteogenesis. 

The probabilistic analysis presented in this chapter is not restricted to a specific fabrication approach but rather presents results as a function of the fiber volume fraction and can be applied to a wide range of pipe rehabilitation methods. The time-dependent failure probability analysis is illustrated for specific fiber volume fractions and can be repeated for any fiber volume fraction depending on the manufacturing process of interest. Typical fiber volume fractions of 30% and 40% are selected conservatively for example probability analysis conducted in the chapter. Recent efforts to measure fiber volume fractions used in composite pipe applications report fiber volume fraction values ranging from 47.6% to 54% for filament-wound composite pipes (Abdalla et al., 2008), and Chin and Lee (2005) measured volume fractions of 47% for unidirectional laminates manufactured via resin transfer molding in a trenchless rehabilitation scheme.
