[Physical therapy in geriatrics--possibilities and limits].

S Weber

    Zeitschrift Fur Gerontologie
    |November 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Physical therapy is crucial for geriatric rehabilitation, prioritizing active exercise. Careful consideration of patient cooperation, abilities, and comorbidities ensures effective treatment, with passive modalities used judiciously to avoid overstress.

    Area of Science:

    • Geriatric Medicine
    • Physical Therapy
    • Rehabilitation Science

    Context:

    • Geriatric patients require specialized rehabilitation approaches.
    • Physical therapy plays a vital role in recovery for older adults.
    • Effective rehabilitation necessitates considering individual patient factors.

    Purpose:

    • To outline the principles of effective physical therapy for geriatric patients.
    • To emphasize the importance of active exercise in geriatric rehabilitation.
    • To guide the appropriate use of passive modalities and group exercises.

    Summary:

    • Active exercise is paramount in geriatric physical therapy, requiring patient cooperation and consideration of their physical abilities and comorbidities.
    • Passive physical modalities offer pain relief but must be applied cautiously to prevent overstress in elderly patients.
    • Adequate physical therapy involves transitioning from individual to group exercises once a stable condition is achieved.

    Impact:

    • Optimizing physical therapy strategies can enhance functional recovery and quality of life in geriatric populations.
    • Appropriate exercise prescription can mitigate risks associated with passive modalities in the elderly.
    • The study provides a framework for evidence-based physical therapy interventions for older adults.
