Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Numerous studies support the use of rehabilitative interventions in the older adult. Given the many fiscal challenges in health care today, it is of utmost importance that funding for rehabilitation result in fruitful outcomes. Specific rehabilitative interventions have been found to be very effective in the elderly and can be demonstrated through numerous studies. Outcomes for conditions including stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputation, hip fracture, and joint replacement are discussed. There is great need for ongoing research to determine optimal rehabilitative interventions in the elderly.
