Portuguese term or phrase: restaurar os níveis de funcionalidade e independência
I found this in an article about patients with CVA...

"para o doente que necessita de cuidados domiciliários de reabilitação, o objectivo é restaurar o máximo possível os seus níveis de funcionalidade e de independência."

Could you help me with this "restaurar o máximo possível os níveis de ..."
Is this "the patient's levels of independence and function"?

Thanks
