Aging is not a disease, nor are there any diseases exclusive to old age. There are physiological changes that occur with aging that lead to functional impairment and eventually death. The geriatric patient usually has several medical problems under treatment concurrently. Therapeutic and technical procedures used in the rehabilitation of geriatric patients are essentially the same as those used in the general practice of rehabilitation medicine. Successful rehabilitation of geriatric patients requires a cooperative and dynamic involvement of all the team professionals, patient and family. Treatment of an elderly stroke patient is outlined as an example of geriatric rehabilitation.
衰老不是一种疾病，也不存在任何仅见于老年人的疾病。随着衰老会出现一些生理变化，这些变化会导致功能受损并最终导致死亡。老年患者通常同时有多种疾病正在接受治疗。老年患者康复中使用的治疗和技术程序与康复医学一般实践中使用的基本相同。老年患者的成功康复需要所有团队专业人员、患者及其家属的合作与积极参与。以老年中风患者的治疗为例概述老年康复。
