| Annotation | Rehabilitation is concerned with lessening the impact of disabling conditions. These are particularly common in older people, and considerable health gain can be achieved by successful rehabilitation. This article is the tenth in a series of 14 articles on the theme, Caring for older people. Hospital doctors and general practitioners should be aware of the core principles of rehabilitation, be able to recognise the rehabilitation needs of their patients, and have sufficient knowledge of their local rehabilitation services to trigger the referral process. |
