Finnish term

kuntoutuja

Finnish to English Medical Medical: Health Care
"Kuntoutuja on hakeutunut yksityiselle lääkärille, koska ei saa apua terveyskeskuksesta."

Petrean lausunto tulvii tätä kuntoutuja-sanaa. Olen käyttänyt "rehabilitation patient", mutta on sille varmaan parempikin vastine.

physical/occupational therapy patient

I think your translation is just fine, except perhaps in that "rehabilitation" can also have the drug rehab connotation. Instead of describing them as just "rehabilitation patient", I might be more specific like "physical therapy patient" or "occupational therapy patient" depending on the specific rehabilitation therapy in question. I would probably also only use this term once--or only occasionally--in the document and usually just use "patient".
