Geriatric Rehabilitation

Abstract

Geriatric rehabilitation focuses on restoring and enhancing the physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being of older adults, particularly those recovering from illnesses, surgeries, or chronic conditions. This holistic approach is tailored to address age-related challenges such as reduced mobility, balance issues, chronic pain, and diminished strength, while also aiming to improve overall quality of life and independence.

In their comprehensive work, Jasemin Todri and Orges Lena emphasize an interdisciplinary approach that integrates medical expertise, physical therapy, and tailored exercise regimens. Todri and Lena’s work is particularly noted for addressing the psychosocial aspects of aging, recognizing the importance of social interaction and mental health in achieving optimal outcomes. Their strategies empower older adults to regain confidence, maintain independence, and enjoy a higher quality of life during their later years.
