Medical rehabilitation in geriatrics

This book addresses the current state of our ageing population. It is essential to maintain the physical activity of senior citizens for as long as possible, despite potential polymorbidity and polypragmasy. It is precisely in this area that therapeutic physical education and physiotherapy methods play a significant role. It is necessary to maintain a certain level of safety for the patient and to modify individual procedures with regard to their age and reduced physical capabilities. Some concurrent illnesses preclude the use of certain physical methods and procedures. Even normal physical activity can be strenuous for a senior citizen.
