Japanese term or phrase: リハ難民
I am currently working on an article for publication in an academic journal on new ways to assess stroke patients showing poor improvement in ADL. I came across this one phrase that I am unfamiliar with and am having a bit of trouble rendering it into English.
The phrase is リハ難民.
It appears in the sentence この改定に対して、FIM効率が低くなるからと言って、本来リハを必要としている患者がリハを受けることができなくなるような事態(18年度のリハ難民)を避けるための議論1)があった。

I want to avoid 直訳 because I feel that it sounds very unnatural in English. I have tried searching for the term in a variety of ways but have not found anything except a set of Youtube videos.

While these videos were very interesting, they did not give me any ideas for an English equivalent.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

English translation:"(patients for whom rehabilitation treatment has generated no significant improvements since 2006)"
Explanation:
Is a single term really necessary for 難民 in this passage, considering that this parenthesis is itself a quantified explanation of the condition being addressed?

For now this is my quick response to your query.
I keep searching for a better and shorter one... :-)

I think everyone gave great answers, but I chose you for your suggestion not to limit the translation to a single term. That helped me very much.
