Summary

When age-related physical impairments affect a person’s performance of functional tasks, rehabilitation may restore function and improve an elder’s independence and participation in society. Included is a review of how to perform a functional assessment, a description of the members of a rehabilitation team, and an introduction to the various settings where an elder can receive rehabilitation. The chapter describes geriatric assistive devices that improve self-care and mobility and reviews specific rehabilitation interventions for common debilitating conditions such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, hip fracture, and lower-extremity amputation.
