Geriatric rehabilitation is the field of healthcare focused on assessing, treating, and managing older adults affected by disability, injury, and age-related conditions in order to restore and maintain function. Its goals are to promote independence in daily activities, prevent further decline, manage the impact of chronic disease, frailty, and conditions such as falls, fractures, and osteoarthritis, and improve overall quality of life. Because older patients often have multiple coexisting conditions and reduced physiological reserve, geriatric rehabilitation typically relies on a multidisciplinary team and on careful evaluation of factors that influence recovery and where a patient can safely return after illness or injury. Within this journal's coverage of Aging Research And Healthcare, relevant work includes a study predicting discharge disposition in geriatric women after traumatic injury, an examination of frailty and the immune system, and an analysis of osteoarthritis and frailty and their associations and counter-strategies, along with work on the long-term outcomes of secondary hip fractures in aging adults. Together these reflect the concerns of geriatric rehabilitation, where understanding frailty, injury recovery, and functional outcomes guides care for older patients. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to the topic.
