Geriatric Rehabilitation

This book uses an internationally recognized conceptual framework that addresses medical, functional, and social model perspectives to cover all major areas of geriatric rehabilitation. It provides a broad-based perspective on older adults, discusses how age influences everyday life, and examines strategies that can be employed by rehabilitation practitioners to enable older adults to fully engage in everyday life. It contains the contributions of international experts from many disciplines who narrate evidence-based rehabilitation efforts to a world-wide, rapidly-growing geriatric population.
