Geriatric rehabilitation.
Elderly people experience motor, sensory and cognitive losses that affect their mobility and their ability to perform activities of daily living. There is often gradual loss of function, which requires recognition and correction. Sudden events, such as stroke, amputation or trauma, may occur in an environment of diminished function and reserve. Rehabilitation measures must be directed toward prevention of dysmobility, correction of functional losses and provision for continuing aftercare.
