Abstract:
Rehabilitation of the elderly patient with a neurologic disease consists primarily of the coordinated actions of an interdisciplinary team of physicians. Key aspects of this process are remediation to reduce neurologic impairments, prevention of secondary complications and comorbidities, compensation to offset and adapt to residual disabilities, and maintenance of function over the long term.
